Found this an interesting read on Gregg Drinnan's blog:

Gregg ranks all of the WHL personalities in terms of influence around the league and Kelly McCrimmon came in third.
"Wheat Kings’ owner has done it all, starting as a player and working his way up through the ranks. Works hard on behalf of the league. Tremendous business background includes an MBA. One respondent noted: “Old school owner with new-school business background.” . . . Leads the competition committee."
Wheat Kings PR/Media man Rick Dillabough came in at 24th. I think a lot of people don't realize the role Rick plays and the respect he has around the league for the job he does.
Regina Pats GM Brent Parker appears to be a fellow his peers love to hate, finishing at pretty much the bottom.
