Ryan Karhut has been involved in football, either as a player or coach, for over 30 years. An offensive lineman in his playing days, he was a three-year starter for the Manitoba Bisons, and a captain when they won their first Vanier Cup in close to 40 years in 2007. When he was in high school, he started his coaching career at the peewee level, which taught him a tonne about the game. Currently the OL coach and special teams coordinator for the Bisons, Karhut has been a mentor at all levels, and in a variety of positions. He's in constant communication with his athletes, and is one of the most “in the know” coaches when it comes to player wellbeing, which is particularly important during COVID.

Riley Harrison was recruited to play receiver for the Manitoba Bisons beginning in 2014. A self-described “humble and hard-working guy,” he played for his teammates and enjoyed every second of his journey. He had his breakout season in 2016, recording 535 yards – good for seventh in the conference – from the slotback position. Entering the 2020 season, Harrison had 1,199 career receiving yards, placing him just outside the top ten in program history. Had there been a season, he would've had the chance to break the program record of 2,092 while also setting himself up in a better position to get drafted. That didn't happen. The COVID-19 pandemic derailed the season, and Harrison's career was cut short right at its peak, as he was preparing for the CFL Draft. “COVID shut everything down, and along with it my shot at the CFL,” said Harrison. “After that, I went to work as a painter for a company. I started hating it and didn't enjoy going to work. I realized I needed to make a change. I took a gamble and quit my job to start my own company. In doing so, I fell back in love with painting and found a new passion as an entrepreneur.” Harrison started doing gigs last March, so he's coming up on one year of successfully running a business (Prodigy Paint and Design). He is passionate about sharing his experiences as an entrepreneur with others, and how his time with the Bisons has helped him succeed.

In episode four, Michelle Sawatzky-Koop, host of the Heroes in our Midst podcast and 1996 Olympian, sits down with Sturgeon Heights teacher and coach Eric Vincent to discuss resources. Eric has dedicated his life to being a servant leader. For the past 15 years, he's coached anywhere between one to eight sports teams a year, lending his tutelage as a former Winnipeg Rifle and Manitoba Bisons football player. He preaches communication, reminding his players that it's okay to ask for help. Eric embraces being a life-long learner. As a teacher, he's helped many student-athletes see their value beyond the field. His message is that we're all human, and each one of us has something special to bring to the table.

In episode two, Michelle Sawatzky-Koop sits down with Jeffrey Bannon and Sean Oleksewycz, two pillars in the Manitoba football community. Sean has coached and played at all levels of amateur football in the province. Currently the assistant defensive backs coach for the Manitoba Bisons, he's known as a player's coach and strives to help his players get a little bit better every day. Currently the commissioner of the Winnipeg High School Football League, Jeffrey has been a coach, general manager and administrator of football in the province. While he didn't grow up playing the game, he's dedicated his life to learning the x's and o's and values the relationships, friendships and opportunities that the sport creates. Both Jeffrey and Sean have been on the frontlines of sport during COVID-19. Their unwavering positivity, and emphasis on controlling what you can control has been a guiding light during difficult times.

A full bench of Ryan, Dave, P Mac and Geeta gather to star asking some serious question about Canucks' Head Coach Willie Desjardins. From some odd line up decisions, the gang is a little confused.
