Mayer is a mainstay

"As he approaches 1,000 games in the WHL, Regina Pats trainer Greg Mayer has come to a startling realization.

"I'm old!" the 43-year-old says with a laugh.

You wouldn't know it by watching the energetic Mayer, who does triple duty as Regina's trainer, athletic therapist and equipment manager. A true student of the profession, Mayer is vigilant in honing his craft, including this summer when he took a couple of extra courses and got some additional hands-on experience by assisting the medical/ training staff of the CFL's Saskatchewan Roughriders.

When it comes to the Pats, Mayer thrives on keeping his players healthy and in peak physical condition. Those who've endured Mayer's intensive workout program often joke about his enthusiasm, noting the ear-to-ear grin as he puts them through the paces in his "torture chamber.""
