Chuck started his teaching and coaching career at Ashmont High School, which was a 1A school, before going to Wetaskiwin Composite (3A) in 1996. From 1996-2012 Chuck coached the cross country team, Senior Boys Volleyball, JV Boys Volleyball, JV Boys Basketball, Senior Girls Basketball and Track & Field.
Chuck is a builder of programs and has always been about giving the students an opportunity to participate. During his time at Wetaskiwin Composite he has been a part of one Track & Field Provincial 3A team championship; 6 time Central zone championships, including a three year undefeated streak in league play; 4th place finish at the 2009 Basketball Provincials; 2004 sportsmanship banner winner at Basketball Provincials; Boys volleyball 2012 zone champions; 1998 boys volleyball provincial finalists; and started an innovative pole vault program that routinely sends 4-8 vaulters to provincials each year. But most impressive is Chuck’s cross country running team domination. Chuck has lead his cross country team to 12 straight zone championships and 13 straight ASAA Provincial championships.
‘Chuck has exemplified what a high school coach should be. Chuck is passionate about sports; extremely dedicated to the kids he works with and has a desire for kids to learn life lessons from sport.’ ~ Rob Cross, Wetaskiwin Composite
‘It is a rare occasion when one person comes into a community and leaves such a footprint in the community and school sports realm. Chuck has done that; a winning provincial and zone championship coach, a sport program founder and builder and an outstanding mentor- teaching our adolescent youth the value and importance of volunteerism and ‘giving back’!’ ~ Wayne Neilson, Former Principal Wetaskiwin Composi
