A little about Aldwyn McGill
By Ken Mollineau (Assistant Editor & Writer for SSR Magazine)
Soccer in Toronto was the magnet that drew Mr.
McGill and I to a lasting friendship. I first met him
when he joined the Iere Soccer Club in 1974 and
have to date continued that friendship.
Thanks to his efforts and encouragement I became
part of the administration staff of the Metro Lions
Soccer team and was fortunate to travel with the
team to Germany twice.
I was also part of Caribbean Stars tournament
committee in the capacity of referee coordinator
and have watched Mr. McGill evolved from a
talented player to the owner of his own company
Caribbean Stars Inc.
 Caribbean Stars produced many good soccer
players who went on to play in the Canadian
Soccer League (CSL), and other
professional leagues
 Caribbean Stars could be called the
catalyst in the soccer world of Toronto, through
the hard work and dedication of its leader Mr.
Aldwyn McGill.
 The organization hosted many renown
tournaments which were highly praised for its
professional operation, attraction of quality
players and large crowds.
 Administratively Mr. McGill’s skills are beyond
words, his organizational and leadership roles
are always paramount to his organization/s.
 The Stars Soccer Review magazine issues
produced by Mr. McGill are very informative
and the photos are professionally taken. The
phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words”,
is a true indication of his ability to bring all the
action on and off the soccer field to you.
 He picked up the mantle of the Street Guys
Soccer League after former league
administrator and co-founder Renwick Jupiter
resigned abruptly at the end of the ‘80
season Mr. McGill can multi-task. He is one of
a few players who performed multiple
administrative tasks while producing on the
field of play at a very high rate.
 In addition to his club championship runs, he
captained his league all star teams in
inter-league play and is the league all-time
league and all star scorer.

(SSR) Magazine and President of Caribbean Stars Inc.
 McGill is respected in the Toronto soccer
community because of his unique ability to deliver
positive results. He has played for the top three
Caribbean teams (Iere, West Indies and Magic
Athletic club) in Toronto; (a rare feat) and has also
contributed to their winning. (see soccer awards)
 He provided Constitutions and Bye-laws for Players
Soccer Club, Toronto Caribbean Soccer League
and the Canadian International Soccer League to
gain affiliation to their respective governing bodies.
 As the Treasurer and Secretary of the CISL Mr.
McGill led the delegation that provided the
necessary information for the CISL to maintain its
lucrative sponsorship with Puma Canada (1995/96)
 As a professional Event’s Coordinator Mr. McGill
was instrumental in the success of four of the
largest International soccer matches that featured
Caribbean teams in Toronto. He also
coordinated trips for youth teams to Trinidad and
Tobago and convened visiting youth teams here.
