He has coached the Men's In-Line National Team as part of his participation in the Canadian Hockey Association (CHA) Program of Excellence, the organization's equivalent of its enormously successful ice hockey program. Easter is a member of the Canadian Hockey Association and the Canadian Professional Coaching Association. An internationally-respected ambassador of roller hockey, Easter also has been invited to teach the sport in Australia on several occasions. As a player, he competed for three years at the Junior B level and four years as a member of the University of Windsor hockey team.

A second-round pick by the NHL's California Golden Seals in 1976, Stenlund eventually played for the Cleveland Barons of the NHL and the Phoenix Roadrunners and Salt Lake City Eagles of the Central Hockey League. Stenlund began his coaching career directing the London Southwest Midgets of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association to a provincial championship in 1981-82. He has also coached at both the university and junior levels in Canada and directed the Windsor Bulldogs to a regular season title in 1990-91.
