Why TSN2? Why?
On Friday I had a live on location at Aparra Shoes in Cold Lake. The remote wasn't over until 6PM. Seeing as I am a die-hard Riders fan I like to watch the games in their entirety. So when TSN2 launched last year I was excited that if I miss anything on TSN I could just watch it on TSN2 a few hours later. I got home around 6:45ish and checked the guide and saw that the Riders vs Montreal game was scheduled for 8:30PM on TSN2. I turned my cell phone off, stayed away from the Internet and put in season 5 of entourage so I didn't accidentally find out the score of the game before it was over. At 8:30 I tuned to TSN2 to find live women's tennis from some lame stop in Toronto. The tennis match was going longer than expected so I sat and watched. Finally the match was over at 9Pm so I was ready for some football!!!!! Only to find out TSN2 was showing Live tennis all freaking night! The next match started at 11PM Toronto time. Who honestly wants to sit up all night watching tennis? I was so pissed off that I sat at home relying on "Canadas Sports Leader" to pull through for me and I was stuck watching to eastern European manly looking ladies piss and whine of the ball being out by a fraction of a millimeter when I could have been watching the Riders lose to Montreal and then had something else to piss me off and blog about today!

I had a horrible dream last night. I dreamed no one came to my wedding including my groomsmen. It was horrible. Also in the dream I was wearing a white tux (which will never happen) and went out partying with it the night before and got it all dirty. All in all it was a pretty strange dream so hopefully it goes it alot better when I get married for real next June
.....
I was at the Bonnyville Pontiacs training camp most of the weekend and things are looking good. The team should have the best group of Defence men in the league, and we all know defence wins championships. I will be coaching at the annual White VS Black game tonight and cannot see my team losing. See you there at 7:30!....

Been Busy
I have seriously been lacking in the Blogging department.
But to be honest it is summer and I have been busy with summer things. I promise to pick up the slack as the days start getting shorter and the temps start dropping.

Monday
I feel like I go in cycles when it comes to blogging. One week I will blog a whole bunch with a lot of things on my mind and then the next I have nothing. Much like last week. Nothing really got my brain going so I focused on other things but now I am back with this on my mind
....
Lost a bet due to the Riders vs Esks game. TNT as he likes to be called is making us play the Edmonton Eskimos fight song every morning at 9 AM. Had the Riders held on and won he would have been wearing a Riders Jersey out front of the KOOL studios giving away water melon. Next time I guess.
....
I was at Greig Lake n Saturday and loved every minute of it. Spent the afternoon with the Seymore family who I have not seen in well over 2 years. Do you ever go see someone who you have not seen in a long time and find it awkward trying to find something to talk about? Well with Don and Bev that never happens. The whole afternoon you would have thought we spent time together on daily basis thats how awesome and interesting they are. Before we got there they went fishing and caught 16 jackfish so supper that night was amazing!!!!
....
Also was able to try Bud Light Lime Saturday. One word-Delicious. If you like Corona with a lime then I suggest picking up BLL instead. Save having to cut up a lime!
....
Congrats to the Dirt Devils for winning the 'B' side of the Bonnyville Mixed Slo-Pitch league. That is the team I began the season with but stopped playing due to travelling a lot on weekends and personal reasons.
....
Wednesday I head to Golden to do some whit water rafting on the Kickinghorse River. If you ever plan on challenging that river go with Wet'N'Wild. This will be my second time with that company and they get an A+ for sure!
Check out the video!

FRIDAY!
Going back to the chucks tonight. I was standing nice and close to the fence (leaning on it to be exact) last night when the chucks came ripping past, and I was struck in the neck with some flying mud! Thats what I call getting on in there!!! I loved it. I was joking with a fellow Newcap employee that that's what us Saskatchewan boys love, dirt in the face!
Who would have thought that horses could be such pranksters? On one of the heats, an outrider was having trouble getting on his horse and going. It looked like the horse was playing games because everytime the guy would try to jump on the horse would move just enough that the rider would miss. Kind of reminded me of when I go to pick people up and just as they reach for the door handle I drive ahead 3 or 4 feet. It usually gets me sworn at but hey its funny for me and I am sure that horse loved it.\
....
Funny how all Edmonton Eskimos fans were jacked up before the CFL season about the fact they now have Maurice Lloyd (former Riders LB) and new head coach Richie Hall (former Riders Defensive Coordinator), and now they will have the best defense in the league. They have given up 90 points in the last 2 games! And not only is that hilarious, but the Eskimos fans are blaming Ricky Ray for it! Last time I checked he didn't have the responsibility of stopping teams from scoring a point every minute and 20 seconds!
....
The above will back fire badly if the Riders don;t pull out a huge win tomorrow afternoon vs Montreal. I have the Riders winning 21-7. Bold? Yes, but as they say win or lose, we still drink booze!
....
Anthony Calvillo should get used to seeing this!

Chucks and stuff
Well it is time for the 2nd annual World Professional Chuckwagon Association Dodge Pro Tour stop in Bonnyville! Wagon races go tonight Friday and Saturday at 7 PM and then Sunday at 2! I will be live on location tonight from 4-8! I am excited, it has been at least 20 years since I was at chuckwagon races live. And I have never seen the pro's race so this should be a good week. We had Troy Flad and Luke Tournier on the show this morning and they helped answer a few questions we had such as what the word aggregate means! (It is what they call it when they add up all the times including penalties for the weekend and then crown a champion....I think). Tune in tomorrow as we will have a couple more drivers on to talk about how tonight went and what to expect for the rest of the weekend.
....
Had a friend tell me that the Heatley to Edmonton deal was still in the works but when I searched TSN.ca I couldn't find anything. If anyone knows anything let me know.
....
Buckcherry will be coming to the Lakeland this summer!!!! August 22 they will perform at the Energy Center in Cold Lake. Kinda disappointed that they chose the Energy Center in Cold Lake over the C2 here in Bonnyville but either way the show is going to rock! We started giving away tickets to the show on Wednesday so listen for more chances to win!
....
As you may or may not know, I am engaged and I would just like to say that with the organizational skills that my fiance has, the entire wedding should be all planned and figured out by Labour Day. That's a compliment seeing as we are not even getting married till next June!
....
What does a guy gotta do to get some A/C in the studio?!!!??!!
....
Kurtis Foster was on Off The Record yesterday arguing the need for the NHL to go to no touch icing. Hard to argue against him when you have a look at what happened when he was trying to beat out an icing call.
....
Is it just me or do video games cheat alot???!!!!?!!
....
OK that's all for today.... I am off to the track and I have $2 on Luke to be the weekend Champ!!!

J-Flow
From time to time I will get an e-mail from some independent artist looking to get some radio play. I understand that people need to do some self promoting from time to time in order to make it. Being the Music Director here at KOOL I listen to these people and 97% of the time there is a pretty good reason why they don't have a record deal. But the other day I opened my e-mail and discovered another e-mail with a song attached. I listened to the tune and a really liked it. I replyed telling J-Flow that I liked it and would feature it in our Brand Spanking New Music feature Monday morning (July 13/09) and then again in the Broiler Steakhouse and Bar Battle of the Beats, Tuesday morning (July 14). You as the listener voted it the 1 day Champ in a landslide. It beat out Christina Aguilera-Fighter. Here are the links for J-Flow and his tune Always Care. Expect to hear it in regular rotation on KOOL soon!

Re: Ghost of MJ
CNN is reporting that the ghostly figure (video below) was a shadow from a worker in the house, yet they can not confirm this. Watch the video and decide for your self. I think the people filming the tour would have noticed something!
I just hope that it's not a haox done by CNN to capitalize on a a human beings death!
Here is a link to the video on Perez Hilton.com (Yes I do read that garbage from time to time)

Ghost Of MJ
Check out the bottom of the page for a creepy video from CNN. Michael Jackson's ghost may be haunting the Neverland Ranch. His close friend, Miko Brando, was conducting a tour with a Larry King Live camera crew when an image of Jacko's likeness appeared at the end of a hallway. Brando did not see the ghost until after filming was completed. See the video of the ghost at the bottom!

Monday
Well another weekend has come and past and I must say it was a very productive weekend for this guy!
I popped the 'Big Question' to my former girlfriend, now fiancee!!!! She obviously said yes other wise I wouldn't be writing about it, I would be waiting for the nearest bar to open to go deal with the rejection. Any ways the wedding plans have begun and we are thinking Late June or early July. Nothing for sure but I will keep you posted!
....
Now to more important stuff....huge Riders victory Friday night!!!! Now a lot of people are probably thinking that a game with 15 turnovers would be an awful game but I loved every minute of it! Every time BC had the ball I was convinced that the Riders would be getting it back on the next play! And watching Saskatchewan with the ball I was on the edge of my seat (actually hotel room bed as I was in Edmonton Friday night) expecting either a huge play or a fumble.
Maybe next week we will see 16 turnovers!!!!
Post predictions on next weeks game
I have Riders winning 32-12
Game is Saturday 11 AM on TSN
....
Stayed at the Westin Hotel in downtown Edmonton Friday night. I was shocked at how cheap it was. They guarantee the lowest rate for a room so we went on hotels.com, found the rate, called them and the actually upgraded our room for the same price hotels.com was offering it for. It was a beautiful hotel, great room, and I recommend it to anyone wondering where to stay in Edmonton.
As we were checking out a dude in front of us was being a total prick. He was giving the lady behind the desk shit for under charging him. She kept telling him what he owed and was getting angry saying that she was wrong he charged way more to the room. I have never in my life heard a guy mad about not paying full price. He then went on about running a hotel in Maui and that he knows how things work. Well buddy, if you are reading this, go back to Maui, we don't want you here!!!

Its been a while
Holy moly I have been lacking in the blogging due to the business we call "Radio". Few things on my mind today!
....
Dany Heatly. What the fu*k?!!???!! You demand a trade and then when granted this trade you won't waive your no trade clause???!!!??! Now I know he put that clause in his contract so that he didn't get shipped out of Ottawa to a crappy team for prospects, but if you demand a trade there should be no way in hell you get to pick what team gets you. Brian Murray should kick him in the groin and tell him to suck it and play for Ottawa, or play for the team where we are trading you to. I am more angered by this because I am an Oilers fan, but even if reports come out that he turns down another team I will still think of him as a selfish, whining baby!
....
Hossa signed for 12 years!!!!! What was he or the Blackhawks thinking?!!!???!!! That 12 year contract will expire when Hossa is 42. Meaning for the rest of his career he won't be able to pick who he plays with ever again (unless he demands a trade and has a no trade clause and pulls a Heatley). The Blackhawks have only made the playoffs TWO (2) times in the last 12 seasons!!! Good luck winning that elusive Stanley Cup there Hossa!

Monday
What a difference a week makes. Last Monday we were experiencing highs in the 30's...this today it probably won't get any warmer than 20. It also figures that it is officially summer the sun hasn't been out in 2 days.
That didn't stop me from going golfing yesterday though. It was my first time on the Bonnyville course and I must say it is a tough course. The fairways are pretty narrow which is tough for me seeing as I can't drive the ball straight on a consistent basis. It was nice to get out and relax seeing as it was my first Fathers Day. If you ever want a good laugh, go golfing with The Robb Hunter and get him to do the Happy Gilmour. Good times!!!!
....
Seeing as there has been kind of a lull in the sports world TSN has been showing alot of Poker. Which got me to a thinking: What was on TV when the sports world was slow, before Texas Hold 'Em became popular. Seriously, TSN has about 3 hours of the stuff every night. Would it not be more entertaining if they had some obscure sports on like Cricket or maybe even rodeo coverage? Poker is fun and all but it is defiantly a channel changer for this guy.
....
Good to see Tiger isn't doing good at the U.S. Open. Robb's news this morning had a voicer of Tiger Woods complaining about the fact that he gets up early and has to wait around to see if t hey are golfing or not due to the rain and he is tired of not knowing. They guy golfs for a living and he thinks he needs to bitch about something? He gets paid millions upon millions of dollars to do something most of us do for relaxation and he feels the need to complain. AND, he doesn't even enter every tournament. Must be a tough life for the #1 golfer in the world!
Even more reason for me to cheer against him.

Back to work Monday
I was so confident that the Penguins would win in 7 that I didn't even watch game 7!
I was busy setting up camp for my weekend camping trip and listened to the game on the radio. The station I was listening to it on had the Detroit feed which was good if you were a Fleury fan. They were so one sided anytime Fleury made a save it was "incredible" or "miraculous". I guess if you bet the mighty Red Wings it must have been a miracle.
Good job on Crosby for snubbing some of the arrogant Wings after the game for the traditional handshake. I would never shake Maltby's, Hossa's or Osgood's hands. They probably smell funny.
....
Like I mentioned above I was camping on the weekend and wowwee did I pick a good weekend. The thermostat on my vehicle was reading 34 yesterday on my way back from golfing and this was only 1 in the afternoon. I had a great time relaxing and it was fun having the first camping experience with my son! He sure did tan and loved every minute of the whole outdoor experience. Other than when we took him down to the water and put his feet in the water....he screamed like someone was killing him...it was actually pretty funny.
....
While camping I went golfing at Northern Meadows golf course outside Goodsoil. I recommend it to anyone who golfs. Lots of trees, very little water, and reasonably priced. I don't know if I am just getting better at golf or it was an easy course because I shot a 49 and it was the first time I swung a club all year. Drained 2 fifteen foot puts which was pretty exciting.
....
If anyone knows of a better lake than Kimball Lake in the Meadow Lake Provincial Park, I would love to know about it. I have been going to Kimball for the last 24 years and can not get enough of it. It was the cleanest water, the nicest beach, and the best campsites I have ever seen. I was also able to get KOOL on my radio the whole way there and back!
....
Chris Pronger is a loser...just thought I would put that out there!

Ball, Oilers, Laughter!
A little piece of me died last night.
I was playing slo-pitch in a beer league, my team is the Dirt Devils, and we are a semi-serious team. It was my 4th at bat of the game which is pretty good considering I was batting at the bottom of the order. The count was 3-0 and our team captain/coach/league president gave me the RED light. So for fear of pissing off my team mates I did not swing and 2 pitches later I walked for the first time in 7 years of playing Slo-Pitch. I didn't even swing the bat once in the 5 pitch at bat.
And to had injury to insult, I tore up my hamstring for the 1000th time on my 1st at bat of the game running out an infield single. For the rest of the game I was the DH and had to have a pinch runner. I should be able to go again on sunday and I guarentee I will not take a walk again. Gotta swing away in Slo-Pitch.
Back home with the Fog Duckers I would owe a 6 pack of beer for walking!
....
Rumours are starting to swirl about a few trades in the works for the Edmonton Oilers.
News released yesterday of Danny Heatley wanting a trade from Ottawa has some people suggesting that Edmonton could be his next home. I do not know if this is a good idea seeing as it would probably cost a top D-man and forward to obtain Heatley. It would be nice to see him in copper and blue tho!
Another rumour is that the Oilers may be able to trade up in the draft as high as a 2nd overall pick. This has me excited as the number 2 spot would be John Tavares seeing as the Islanders are telling the world they are picking Victor Hedman. Both the Lighting (number 2 overall) and Islanders (number 1) want Hedman so if he does go 1st then the Bolts will consider a trade.
How does this sound for a starting lineup this fall?
LW-Danny Heatley C-John Tavares RW-Ales Hemsky
D-Sheldon Souray D-Tom Gilbert
G-Dwanyne Roloson
I can see it now!!!!

This has me excited as the number 2 spot would be John Tavares seeing as the Islanders are telling the world they are picking Victor Hedman. Both the Lighting (number 2 overall) and Islanders (number 1) want Hedman so if he does go 1st then the Bolts will consider a trade.
How does this sound for a starting lineup this fall?
LW-Danny Heatley C-John Tavares RW-Ales Hemsky
D-Sheldon Souray D-Tom Gilbert
G-Dwanyne Roloson
I can see it now!!!!

Manly Treatment
We had the ladies from Camelot Body Care Plus in studio all morning today. I received a Gentleman's Facial. It was absolutely amazing. They started off by having me breath in this stuff that relaxed me. Then Sarah pretty much massaged my face for an hour. It ended with a green mask that was on my face for about 15 minutes. While that was on I had my hands massaged. It was the most relaxing thing ever!
Next Robb had a Sport Pedicure. They soaked his feet, trimmed his cuticles, shaved down his calluses (pardon the spelling), massaged his feet, and then had a paraffin wax wrap. Again Robb was relaxed and ready for a nap!
This was all done to prove that manly men such as Robb and I, can get this stuff done without feeling shame.
We are also qualifying people who win the Gentleman's package for fathers day. The package includes the facial, pedicure, 30 minute massage, and some product for the face and stuff.
Today's manly trivia was, name the 6 original teams in the NHL.
Geronimo knew the 6 were Chicago, Boston, Detroit, New York Rangers, Montreal and Toronto.
If you have any manly trivia suggestions please email them to me at Dlee@newcap.ca

I was at the Maple Flag open house Saturday afternoon. It was pretty cool to see all the fighter jets up close and personal. When you see them on TV flying around you forget how big they actually are.
Huge props goes out to CFB Cold Lake for the parking situation. We pulled up to where they had a military man directing people on where to park. He looked into my vehicle and saw that I had my son who is only 12 weeks old. He then said people with children under 3 get to park up close. He directed me up to our parking spot which was literally 100 yards from the entrance to the show.
More places should have kids parking. It made pushing the stroller through the dirt parking lot a hell of a lot easier.

Jerry!?!?!?!!
Next time you run into The Robb Hunter ask him about his duck named Jerry!
....
I was at the Weatherford lounge lastnight after the Bachelorette date and enjoyed their 30 cent wing night. The selection of flavours was exceptional and for being only 30 cents the wings were a good size. Check it our Tuesdays at the Weatherford Lounge in the C2.
....
I didn't blog yesturday as you may or may not have noticed. I had my blog all written out and ready to go and then hit the 'post' button. Up came a message saying error and what I spent practically all morning writing was lost forever. So I said screw it and didn't bother re-writing it.
It was Gold by the way!!!
....
We will be presenting the Lakeland 2010 Alberta Winter Games a cheque valued at $160,000 this afternoon. Check back for a picture of the giant check. I am pumped to on board with these games as we will be covering them extensivly this coming winter!

Now I am not one to be offended by song lyrics (I do have all Eminems CDs) but is that line not slightly offensive. I think the reason it bothers me is because thats the line in the radio edit. You can't say bitch on the radio but you can say that. The CRTC is messed up.'Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips'

Wedding,Shane,MTV
No thunderstorms in the forecast today!!!!
....
I was at a wedding on the weekend (congrats Kayla and Adam) and started wondering when you get too old to move your hands while dancing. It never failed...anytime a man over the age of 45 entered the dance floor the only thing he did was move his feet and hips.
....
Congrats to my brother Shane at divisionals in Saskatoon. He qualified for provincials in Prince Albert this coming weekend in the triple long jump and 4x100 relay.
He finished 2nd in triple jump, 4th in long jump, 4th in 100 meter sprint and 5th in high jump.
....
MTV movie awards were lastnight. Eminem performed live and he is awful live. I also have a live DVD from his Encore tour and it was a total waste of 15 bucks.
It was also very weird when that Bruno character came down from the ceiling in some bondage gear and landed on Eminem. Eminem lost it and stormed off. I am willing to bet he won't be back to do stuff for MTV...unless he guest stars in The Hills or something stupid on MTV.
At one point during the show they cut away to these 6 'VJs', (like during a hockey game they have a panel in studio) and after their 2 minutes of air time I think I became dumber. They made no sense and said the word 'like' about 47 times....is that what kids are into these days...stupid-act-like-your-are-dumb-say-like-1000-times-and-giggle?
I am completly sick of the dumb girl act. Ladies do your selves a favour and show your intelligence. It's not a turn on or funny to act dumb.

Friday
This past week was the fastest week in the history of weeks!!!!!
....
My blog may seam a little bit different today. That would be because of the awful accident I had lastnight. You see I was at The Robb Hunter's place last night sitting around a fire when I went to put a log in the fire and I got a sliver. Robb's wife tried to help me with tweezers but nothing was able to fix it so now I have a stinging in my right hand near my index finger.
....
No thunderstorms in the forecast today!!!!
....
Relay for life gets started tonight in Cold Lake at the Grand Centre highschool. I hope to see alot of people out and I will update the final number for money raised on Monday.
....
Good luck to my brother Shane who will be competing in a track meet in Saskatoon tomorrow. If he wins there, he will be going to Provincials for a 3rd consecutive year!!! He is a long jumper, triple long jumper and 100 metre sprinter so go Shane go!!!!
He has set school records in long jump so this being his senior year, adding a Provincial Banner in the Kobra Dome would be awesome.
I love the hair in this pic taken a couple weeks ago at the sectionals.....He runs like the the wind!

Finals,Wipeout,American Idol,Jays
Another Pittsburgh/Detroit Stanley Cup Final.....it seams funny that after 1 year, 82 regular season games, 3 playoff rounds and it's the same 2 teams competing for what is supposed to be the toughest trophy to win. I have Pittsburgh in 7.
....
The newest season of Wipeout was on lastnight. I was laugh histarically while my girlfriend was cringing. Something about watching people get hurt just makes me a happy guy. Nothing beats seeing someone fall so awkwardly they may have broke their neck.
....
The 2 finalists for American Idol, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert, have released singles. The only problem I have is the fact that they are the exact same singles. They couldn't have wrote 2 songs and had them sing something else?
Our afternoon girl Genevieve will be featuring both songs on Brand Spanking New Music next week.
....
What the fizzuck happened to the Blue Jays?!?!?!?! Lost 9 straight games and yesturday's was especially painful. Halliday left the game with an 8-3 lead to have the bull pen blow it. Then comes All-Star 2nd Baseman Aaron Hill to the rescue, 2 run shot in the 10th, WHOOO-HOOO losing streak over......NOPE....blow it again in the 11th. So much for the World Series.
....
I wish people would stop getting there kids who can barely speak to phone in during the Battle of The Beats
....
I said there ain't no rest for the wicked!
Great tune!

Marilyn Manson, Movies, Quenneville,Oilers
I was very surprised this morning when I discovered that Marilyn Manson has released a new CD, The High End Of Low. He is also headlining the 2nd annual Mayham Festival this summer so now I guess there will be someone to blame again for kids doing awful awful things!
And Eminems new album, Relapse, is out and it's quite explicit, not that there's anything wrong with that.
....
I am flipping through the pages of the Rolling Stone magazine and can't help but notice that the guys from Green Day wear way to much eye makeup. Do girls actually like a guy who wears makeup?
....
It has been well over 3 months since I rented a movie let along saw one in the theatre and I feel like I get to watch them all every Tuesday. You see at KOOL we have a new DVD/CD/Video game feature where I tell everyone what movies are out there to rent and such. Well this feature requires me to read review after review on these DVD's so I can let the listener know what movies are worth picking up.
Now all through school when we were required to do book reports, we had to report what happened in the book but leave out the ending.
It seams movie critics who write the reviews did not learn that, and now every Tuesday morning around 5:30 am I read how every movie that is released ends and it makes me not want to even rent the movie.
Moral of the story: STOP RUINING EVERY MOVIE YOU STUPID MOVIE CRITICS.
Not once does Ebert tell the ending of his movies so take a page from his book.
....
Joel Quenneville was fined from the NHL for criticizing the officials. Quenneville was quoted as saying;
"I think we witnessed probably the worst call in the history of sports there.
Nothing play."
"You know, they scored, it's 3-0. They ruined a good
hockey game and absolutely destroyed what was going on the ice. ... Never
seen anything like it."
I think a referee should have to face the media after a game and explain why he made or did make certain calls. Every player and coach in the league faces the media when they screw up.
....
The following is from TSN.ca
The Edmonton Oilers have found their men.
Pat Quinn was announced as the new head coach at a news conference today with former Rangers coach Tom Renney being named an associate head coach.
Kelly Buchberger, who was an assistant coach with the Oilers last season is remaining on the bench.
"I'm certainly aware of the history of the Oilers," Quinn said. "I'm fully aware of the passion of the fans and the work ethics and the appreciation of talent here. I think we have the opportunity to help this team win and I'm excited to have Tom and Kelly (Buchberger) here. It's a thrill and a joy to return to the rink and I'm happy to be here again."
The move reunites Quinn and Renney with general manager Steve Tambellini from their days together with the Vancouver Canucks. Quinn worked as head coach and general manager for 11 seasons in Vancouver and was behind the bench from 1990 to 1996. Tambellini spent two decades working in Vancouver's front office before joining the Oilers last summer. Renney got his first NHL head coaching job with the Canucks in 1996.
"If I think of leadership, I think of Pat," Tambellini said. "If I think of the way you want to be treated as a player, I think of someone like Pat Quinn. If I think of someone who sets and example morally for an organization of how to go forward, I think of a man like Pat Quinn."
Quinn becomes the ninth head coach in the Oilers' 30-year history, replacing Craig
MacTavish, who was fired last month.
Quinn's first stint as an NHL coach came in 1978-79 with the Philadelphia Flyers and also worked behind the bench and in the front office with the Los Angeles Kings, Vancouver Canucks and Toronto Maple Leafs.
He coached five seasons in Vancouver, winning the Jack Adams Award as coach of the year in 1992 and leading the team to the 1994 Stanley Cup final where they lost to the New York Rangers. He joined the Maple Leafs for the 1998-99 season and led the club to two straight appearances in the Eastern Conference Final.
Quinn was also coach of Canada's Olympic entry for Salt Lake City in 2002 and led the Canadian National Men's Hockey Team to gold, ending the team's 50-year drought. Two years later, he returned to coach Team Canada in the 2004 World Cup of Hockey leading them to a championship finish.
After his stint with the Maple Leafs, Quinn worked as Canada's national men's team coach for the 2006 Spengler Cup and led Canada to its fifth straight gold medal at the 2009 World Junior Hockey Championship.
Quinn also has hockey ties to Edmonton, where he was an added player on the Oil Kings 1963 Memorial Cup championship team. One of his teammates was Former Oilers coach and general manager Glen Sather.
Renney, who was fired near the end of the 2008-09 season by the New York Rangers after five-seasons behind the bench expressed his happiness being behind the bench in a support role with Quinn.
"This is a no-brainer," said Renney. "This is a slam dunk. I want to do everything I can within Pat's framework to being a winning product on the ice for our fans."
Hopefully Pat has no trouble having the same amount of success with the Oilers as he has had with the National program. Only 5 more months until the 2009/2010 season!!!!!
