Kansas City Mavericks News Release


INDEPENDENCE, Missouri - The Missouri Mavericks announced Tuesday the team's newest game day host for the 2012-13 season will be Shannon Oleen. Shannon will be introduced and take part in the Mavericks' Fan Fest this Saturday, September 8 at Independence Events Center from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Shannon Oleen, formerly McKain, is a native of Gladstone, Missouri and has been a lifelong Kansas City sports fan. Most recently, Shannon cheered for the Kansas City Chiefs and she has also stood on the sidelines for Sporting KC and the Missouri Comets. Now, Shannon is widely recognized not only as a former cheerleader, but as an acclaimed keynote speaker and leading authority in finding passion, creating positive change and reaching personal goals.

"We are excited to have Shannon join us," said Mavericks' President and General Manager Brent Thiessen. "She is going to be a big asset for the Mavericks and she will help make our game days exciting, fresh and fun. We can't wait to have her join the staff for another exciting season of Mavericks hockey."

"Being the host of our professional hockey team is an incredible way for me to stay involved in sports," said Oleen. "Hearing the crowd celebrate after a Mavericks' goal, visiting with fans and watching the fast-paced action is exciting to me. This is exactly where I want to be."

Shannon is a graduate of William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri where she studied political science and communication. When she isn't hosting games for the Mavericks or inspiring national audiences with her message, Shannon enjoys teaching cheer and dance camps to youth throughout the Midwest and spending time with family and friends.
