Chuck Richardson
11th year with MTW 

Chuck has been involved in football development at the High school and community level since 1983. He is a NCCP Level III certified coach (1998) with 15 years experience at Lawrence Park CI in Toronto, nine as head coach, and two as the first head coach for the then "Lawrence Park" Wildcats in 1999 and 2000. During that span he had coaching positions with the 1987,1988 and 1997 TSSAA All-Star teams and guest coaching spots with York and McMaster Universities. In 1995 he founded the Lawrence Park Football Alumni Association (LPFAA) with the mandate to revive and fund the football programs at Lawrence Park CI and the community at large. Chuck formed the Wildcat program in the fall of 1998 as a substitute football program while the high school teachers withdrew services during that year's work-to-rule campaign. He then stepped aside as HC of the "Metro Toronto" Wildcats in 2002 and serves as the LPFAA President, MTW Executive member, Varsity Team Governor, and currently Director of Marketing.

Secretary-treasurer & Financial
Mike McCormick
10th

Michael played his high school football at Lawrence Park CI as Left Tackle on Offense and as a DT then DE on Defense.  It was at LP that Michael met Chuck, who lead the effort to save the program and rebuilt LP Football to it’s former glory.  Thankfully the days of starting a game with 16 players and ending with 10 on the field are over!  Michael returned to LPCI as a coach after graduating from Bishop’s University and then LPFAA and later MTW Jr. governor & director.  Despite a demanding career in real estate finance and as an entrepreneur Michael still makes time to give back to the program.  “It is all about passing on the legacy” he says, “Football helped me stay focused on school, taught me hard work and discipline and allowed me to have amazing experiences like going to the Michigan Wolverine camp.  I want to make sure the players today have those same opportunities.”  The MTW program now helps players do just that.

Tom Gretes
2nd year with MTW 

Tom has been a fixture in football circles in the GTA for almost 30 years. In four seasons as York's head football coach, Tom Gretes has elevated the profile of the program by guiding the team to four consecutive playoff appearances. Gretes earned OUA Coach of the Year honours in 2002 after leading York to a 5-3 regular season record. The team then went on to host its first-ever home playoff game and record its first playoff victory. In his inaugural season as head coach in 2001, York qualified for the playoffs for the first time since 1997. Gretes served as defensive coordinator for six years with York before adding the head coaching position to his responsibilities. With Gretes as defensive coordinator, York has consistently been among the nation’s best in all defensive categories. Prior to coaching at York, Gretes was the defensive coordinator at Northern Secondary in Toronto, where he collected nine city championships and two Metro Bowls. An assistant coach with the University of Toronto for five years, he helped the Blues capture the Vanier Cup in 1993. As a player, Gretes was a defensive back for Toronto where he graduated in 1981 from the Physical and Health Education program. Off the field, Gretes is an instructor and administrator for the School of Kinesiology and Health Science. Gretes lives in Toronto with his wife Sophie. The couple has two children, George (21 and former QB with the Cats) and Nicole (19).

Vice President
Sponsorship, Aid and Recruiting
John Prisco
10th

You can take John Prisco away from the Wildcats but you cant take the Wildcats out of John Prisco. Its in his blood. He was on the other end of Chuck Richardson's first phone call when MTW was just an idea so a few extra miles to Prisco's new home in Oakville will not be enough to keep him from having a significant impact on MTW growth in years to come. After a year off to acclimatize to his new home the former 8 year varsity head coach  returns to MTW in an executive role and owner of the recruiting, fundraising and player aid portfolio's. "What you see now as MTW is as much a product of John's involvement with the program as it is anyone's", says Chuck Richardson, "his new role is a perfect fit based on his ability to relate with players and given his strengths in the business world." Just like the addition of Tom Gretes, this was a natural. John will work closely with MTW President Chuck Richardson on Fundraising and Tom Gretes on player and recruitment issues. Welcome back John!

Business, Registration & Equipment
Anne DeGrasse
8th

Anne is arguably the most recognizable figure in the MTW organization. She has been indispensable whether it be as an event planner and coordinator, equipment purchaser and manager, game day volunteer manager and registrar. She is a constant at all practices and games and is typically first in and last out. Along with her husband Dave, Anne epitomizes what parent and volunteer involvement is all about and the MTW will need more like them in the years ahead
