Bob McCready

Robert "Buff" McCready (1940 to June 2007) was a Canadian professional and amateur box lacrosse goaltender who later worked as a professional coach. Born in Port Dalhousie, Ontario, he led the Whitby Red Wings to an Ontario junior title in 1960 and won the Mann Cup with Brantford in 1973, when he was named the playoff most valuable player. He turned the goaltending position into an offensive threat, and in 1969 he finished third in team scoring for the St. Catharines Golden Hawks with 3 goals and 81 assists despite playing in goal. He also played for the Montreal Canadians, the Toronto Tomahawks and the Maryland Arrows. In 1992 he was the first coach of the Buffalo Bandits for three games and he later assisted the Rochester Knighthawks. He is a member of the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame and the Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
