You probably recognize Howie Draper's name from all those national championships he's won coaching the University of Alberta's Panda hockey team, but did you know he also uses his voice for more than just demanding more hustle and insulting referees' mental capacity? For the last decade, Draper has also been using his sonorous pipes to front the Ways, Edmonton's answer to the question, "What would happen if you combined bright, '60s pop melodies with the edge of late-'80s punk?"

With his bandmates guitarist John Wilson, bassist Geoff Gooding and drummer Wayne Arthurson, Draper will be celebrating the decade mark down at the Black Dog, although there's been no word on whether the stage will be decorated with his multitudinous championship banners or not.
