...just yesterday...

...two members of ELITE NATION were announced as inductees into the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Hall of Fame...

...Troy Westwood... the all-time points leader of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers....and 17 year member...topped off a phenomenal career with the nod into the H.O.F...we have been fortunate to have been part of Troy's journey since 1995...and I can truly say that it has been an honor to know and work with him...

...the other one...a true embodiment of what ELITE was built upon...a slow footed, undersized local product...who, from day one back in 1995...won his teammates and coaches over with a ferocious competitive spirit and desire to be a part of the team...AND a spirit that became part of the backbone of the Winnipeg Football Club for many tough seasons...

...after 11 years with the Bombers and 2 records; most Special Teams Tackles in a Year (CFL Record) and most Special Teams Tackles in a career (Bomber Record)  Wade Miller is being inducted along with his long-time pal, Troy.

...I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Wade since his first day with "the Club" back in 1995.  Wade Miller is a rare find....congratulations Wade...if there ever has been a living definition of the ELITE credo...you are it. 

NOTHING IN THE WORLD CAN TAKE THE PLACE OF PERSISTENCE.
Talent will not, nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not, unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not, the world is full of educated failures.
PERSISTENCE AND DETERMINATION ALONE ARE OMNIPOTENT.

Until next time ELITE NATION....
Onward and upward,
Your pal,
fISH
