Our Staff

Sandra is the original owner of Overlander Sports which she and some partners started in 1983. Now, she and Bill are co-owners and she does the day to day administrative and buying, you can occasionally find her on the sales floor. In her spare time she enjoys gardening, cross country skiing, paddling, and spending time with family.

Bill is co-owner of Overlander Sports along with Sandra. When not at work, you may find him on the ski or portage trail.

Jordan has been in Yellowknife since February 2012 when he moved from from Windsor, ON.  He is the manager of Overlander Sports, and also a buyer for sporting goods & fitness gear. Outside of work, he spends his time biking, playing basketball & working on personal fitness.  Jordan also volunteer coaches the the Senior Boys’ Sir John Falcons basketball team in his spare time. If you are looking to place any team or workplace orders Jordan is your man.

Aislinn’s primary role at the store is a buyer. If you can wear it, chances are she ordered it. She also takes care of many administrative tasks such as payroll, advertising, and donations. When she’s not in the store she spends her time gardening, cooking, skiing, hiking, and playing with her crazy dog, Layton.

Doug is one of our longest-standing employees from his first day when we threw this lamb in with the lions at the 2001 Snow Show.  He holds his pilots license and enjoys kite skiing, kayaking, climbing and skiing. One of his most memorable adventures in the north was when he went on a climbing trip to Redcliff Island on the East Arm of Great Slave Lake.

Mika has backpacked over 30 countries and ‘drifted’ to Yellowknife after hitchhiking across Canada in 2016 (and we couldn’t be happier). She is our buyer of outdoor/camping gear and takes care of canoe rentals, branded items etc. Her personality and positive attitude are infectious and her talk of travel will inspire you. If you are seeking some quality adventure and advice, she is the gal to ask and is always there to help you out.

Ben has been with us since 2018. He has years of experience in the cycling industry and as a bike mechanic. He is also a graduate of the Winterborne Bicycle Institute. When not at work Ben can be found riding the trails on his fat bike, pounding pavement on his road bike, or skiing the lakes.

Originally from Newfoundland, Kalie moved to the north in September 2018. She enjoys kayaking, canoeing, skiing, rock climbing, hiking and camping in the truck. If you have any questions about anything warranty related, Kalie is the gal you will be talking with. Yellowknife has so many great trips and adventures and she is excited to explore them all.

Sakura has fallen in love with the north and Yellowknife, this amazing and beautiful (if sometimes cold) town. Coming to Canada 8 years ago after forgoing a return ticket to Japan, she became part of our sales team in October 2018 and can be seen on the store floor always willing to answer questions and help customers in need. Sakura loves to live a healthy and active life fueled with good food.

After living here as a small child, Jacqueline bloomed an everlasting love for everything northern and remigrated to the north in May 2019. When she’s not out on our sales floor helping and sharing a laugh or an occasional serenade with the customers (okay more than occasional) Jacqueline is working away, stepping lightly at Anytime Fitness or serving it up at the NWT Brewery. If she’s not working she enjoys rock climbing, running, eating delicious food, camping, and just being outside as much as possible… a true Jack of all trades Master of none.

Mike moved to Yellowknife in 2017, but his first home in the north was Cambridge Bay. He has over 20 years of sports retail experience, and is also happy to help customers en francais. Mike is an Ultimate Frisbee fanatic, and played nationally & internationally.  He loves the outdoors, music, camping, kayaking, hiking and testing the limits of how far his Jeep can take him. He is always a friendly face at the store, as he genuinely loves helping people and making you smile!
