Congratulations to Maillie Harris, our latest Elite Sportswear Coach of the Week. Below is the nomination email we received from Mike.
Maillie Harris coaches the Oilers Octane cheerleaders and they all work hard as I know the Octane are not paid and volunteer to be members of the team. I think it would be good to reward the coach as well as give some more exposure to their squad for the hard work they put in, especially in the community as the lockout continued on.

Congratulations to Blair Krause, our latest Elite Sportswear Coach of the Week. Below is the nomination email we received from Ravi.
I would like to nominate Blair Krause for coach of the week. Watching him grow up through high school and phasing out (too small) for University ball – he never lost that drive to teach and be taught about the game. He brings the same passion and youthful enthusiasm (mid 20’s) to his small town team in Piegon Lake. He drives kids to produce at their best, always rolls four lines, and most importantly, believes in his kids. Like Krueger, he’s an effective communicator, and extends the sports metaphor into life – which is something that rarely gets talked about. As a young coach, he is incredibly well respected (even managing to snag his girlfriend to assistant with him for one year) and has a drive to the game that is difficult to find in this day and age where extra-curricular “volunteer coaching” isn’t necessarily the thing people are jumping at to do.
