In 2008 Wilde led the Lynx to the playoffs for the first time since 2000, but unfortunately for the Lynx, the Cleveland Internationals scored a late winner to take the game 2–1, sending the Lynx home early.

After spending 10 years with the Lynx, Wilde rejoined Oakville in 2015. In the 2017 season, he led them to their second League1 Ontario title.{{Cite web|url= https://www.oakvillebluedevilsfc.com/about-us/|title=Oakville Blue Devils History|website=oakvillebluedevilsfc.com|accessdate=August 25, 2020}}
