In May 2020, Ontario Soccer and its membership grieved the sudden passing of its Director of Soccer Operations, Gary Miller. As a friend, mentor and coach to many generations of Ontario Soccer participants, Gary was a pioneer for the modernization of soccer in Canada and staunch advocate for Long-Term Player, Coach and Match Official Development.
Nowhere was Gary’s influence more critical and impactful than as a member on Ontario Soccer’s
Technical Advisory Committee, which developed the standards for the Ontario Player Development
League (OPDL) launched in 2014. This program has come to be the pace setter and embodiment of a more refined, standards-based high performance development environment benefitting players, coaches and match officials across Ontario.
The Gary Miller Charity Shield is designed to celebrate OPDL License Holders for their achievements while contributing to charity organizations in Ontario. By enshrining Gary’s name with this highest standard of youth soccer competition, his memory will live on for soccer generations to come and his dedication to advance soccer, in all capacities, across Ontario and Canada will forever be remembered.
