Peter MacInnis has served the hockey community for the past 35 years. In 1998 he was awarded the "Chamandy Award" which is the highest honour awarded by the Greater Toronto Hockey League for "Outstanding Service in the Fostering and Promotion of youth hockey in the GTHL". In 2002, Mr. MacInnis was awarded the 2001 Toronto Real Estate Board's prestigious "Commercial Division Award of Merit" for his dedication to the commercial real estate profession and his commitment to youth and the community. Later that same year, he was presented with the Jennifer Ashleigh Foundation's "Heather Grand Volunteer of the Year Award", and in 2007 he was awarded the "Cooper Humanitarian Award" for service to youth and minor hockey.

Mr. MacInnis is married with three children, two boys and one girl. Both his boys played and refereed hockey, and he still coaches in the North York Hockey League's house league select program at the 1992 age level. His last year coaching at the AAA level was in 1989, where he took his Don Mills Flyers Bantam team to the finals of the All Ontario Bantam Championships in Ottawa.

Mr. MacInnis is the current President of the Jennifer Ashleigh Children's Charity and has been an active member and supporter of this wonderful children's charity since its inception in 1990. The Foundation assists chronically ill children and their families "when love in not enough" and currently assists 600 families annually in the GTA and throughout Ontario.

Mr. MacInnis has a great passion for the game of hockey, and for the positive impact it has on our young people. "I believe that hockey provides a healthy, safe, and competitive environment, where kids learn to work together as a team, take direction, develop character, build friendships, and acquire lasting memories." "It takes a great deal of courage and sacrifice to play competitive hockey and I have the utmost respect for the kids that play the game".

Randy started coaching in 1980. Since 1984 he has been associated, in various positions, with the Don Mills Flyers organization. Positions include long time stints as assistant coach, manager and trainer with four of Don Mills Flyers more successful teams. Most recently,
Randy was the manager of the GTHL Minor Midget Champions (2006).

He is also the Don Mills Flyers Equipment Manager and Ice Coordinator.
Randy holds an Advanced Coaches Certificate for both hockey and lacrosse, along with a Level Three Trainers Certificate.

Randy works in the Mississauga-area and lives in East End of the city with his wife Nancy.

Marc joins the Don Mills family after playing 10 years in the GTHL. Marc started off playing AA for the Leaside Kings under the coaching influence of his father Nick who ran the Leaside team for many successful seasons.
Marc then made the move to AAA with the Don Mills Flyers where he continued to enjoy a successful playing career.
This experience was a spring board for Marc who following his Midget year with Don Mills Flyers joined the defending Ontario Junior ?A? Hockey League Champions and Royal Bank Cup of Canada finalists the Newmarket 87?s. Following a very successful season in which Marc and Newmarket lost in the OJHL league finals Marc joined the Milton Merchants, the team who knocked himself and the Newmarket 87?s out of the finals the previous year. Marc continued to enjoy a very successful sophomore season and as a result was offered and accepted an athletic scholarship to play for the Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers in the NCAA.
Although playing was always a passion for Marc, from a young age Marc has been fortunate enough to be exposed to the coaching and management side of hockey which is where he developed his true passion in the game: coaching. Marc?s father, Nick Slawson, managed both the St. Michael?s Buzzers and Milton Merchants in the Ontario Junior ?A? Hockey League for over 15 years. This allowed Marc the opportunity to grow up in the dressing room and be around both the coaches and players, many who have moved along to successful careers in the NHL.

This exposure is what has formed Marc?s hockey philosophy and desire to pass along his knowledge. As a result, Marc has spent the past 2 years coaching the 1998 Hillcrest Canadiens AA team, where he and his coaching staff were named the Hillcrest Canadiens organization Coach Of The Year in 2010. It is in the coaching environment Marc feels he has found his true niche as he has a real passion for teaching the game of hockey and finds it very rewarding to work with and develop young players, the future of hockey in Canada.

Marc, a St. Michael?s College School and Ryerson University graduate, currently works as Production Coordinator for a Mississauga based print a company The Lowe-Martin Group where he has been the past 5 years. His favourite NHL team is God?s team the Toronto Maple Leafs and his favorite all time player is Cam Neely.

Born and raised in Toronto, Steve has been coaching elite hockey teams in the GTA for over 15 years. He has coached successful clubs at both the minor and junior levels as both an assistant and head coach.

Steve brings an extremely targeted and professional approach to the game on a daily basis and gradually gets more and more out of his players from workout to practice to game. His approach to the game gives players an early introduction to what is involved with being an elite hockey player at the junior, college and professional levels.

He was an Assistant Coach with the 1993-94 Vaughan Kings Bantam AAA team that captured the Kobe Cup All Ontario title in Kenora, Ontario. A notable member of the Kings club was current NHL'er Mike Weaver (St. Louis). He worked under Lindsay Hofford whose experience includes head coaching stints of the Lethbridge Hurricanes (WHL) and the London Knights (OHL).

Steve was also an assistant coach with the 1998-1999 OHA Jr.A. Champion Bramalea Blues that went on to a 3rd place finish at the prestigious Royal Bank Cup. Members of Mercer's Blues teams included notables Steve Eminger (Anaheim), Adam Hall (Tampa Bay), Mike Cammalleri (Montreal), Nathan Marsters (R.P.I.) and John Nail (Michigan State).

In 1999-2000, Steve joined Hofford in leading the Vaughan Vipers to the third round of the OHA playoffs, their most successful season to date, before taking over as the club's head coach the following season.

After two years with the Vipers, Steve returned to minor hockey taking over the Vaughan Kings Atom AAA team made up of players born in 1990.

His second season saw him lead the Kings to a 28-6-2 record and another All-Ontario AAA Championship in Peewee.

Mercer's first year with the Don Mills Flyers saw the Bantam team improve from 11th place the previous year to a playoff berth and near upset in the quarter-finals. His second season resulted in further improvement, winning the GTHL Minor Midget Championship (2006). For the past two seasons, Steve has been the head coach of the Toronto Jr. Canadiens 1994 age group who ended up in 3rd place in league standings, GTHL Finalists and ranked 2nd in the Minor Midget OHL Cup rankings.
