βHe will come in and compete right away for us this fall and he immediately makes us a better football team.β
Mairleitner has played for the Medway Cowboys of the Thames Valley Regional Athletic Association (TVRAA).Β He has represented the country as a member of Team Canada.
βDrew was good last summer for Team Ontario, but getting to watch him in Texas for Team Canada, I now know how great he can be,β assessed Golden Hawks Offensive Line Coach Irv Daymond.Β βHe competed and played well against some top level defensive lineman from the US.β
βI know these experiences will help him in this next football chapter here at Laurier.β

βI picked WLU because I feel like they are a great program that is really up and coming,β said Mairleitner.Β βI believe in the next few years they will be at the top and I want to be a part of that.β
βI also think that Coach Irv is the best Offensive Line Coach in the nation, along with the young energetic coaching staff!β
