Darris Kilgour's Hall of Fame resume grew after he led Buffalo to their first NLL Championship since the 1996 season. The Championship was the first for Kilgour as head coach and general manager and was the fourth for the Buffalo organization.

After being named the Buffalo Bandits’ sixth head coach on July 18, 2002, Kilgour transformed an 8-8 team in 2002 into the physically punishing team that journeyed to the Champions Cup Finals in 2004. That same year, he was selected to coach the Eastern Division in the 2004 NLL All-Star game. Kilgour's 12-win season in 2003 is the most in franchise history, and the feat earned him 2003 NLL Coach of the Year honors. In five years as a head coach in the NLL, no Kilgour-led team has ever missed the playoffs. A 10-6 regular season clinched the East Division title for the Kilgour-led Bandits in 2008, three more playoff wins including a 14-13 victory over Portland to win their first Championship in 12 years.  In six years as head coach of the Bandits, Kilgour has led the team to a 52-28 regular season record, and a 6-5 playoff record.  He also enters his fourth season as the team’s general manager.
 
Kilgour began his coaching career with the Washington Power from 2000-2002, compiling an 18-12 record and taking the Power into the semi-finals both seasons.
 
A three-time MILL/NLL All-Pro as a player, Kilgour was the first ever draft choice of the Bandits in 1992. The Niagara Falls, NY native was a two-time All-American lacrosse player at Niagara Wheatfield High School.
 
Kilgour was a major contributor in each of Buffalo's three Major Indoor Lacrosse League Championships. He currently ranks among the Bandits’ all-time leaders in every major statistical category: second in penalty minutes (257), third in goals (128), third in faceoffs won (255), fourth in assists (127), fifth in points (255), seventh in games played (62), and ninth in loose balls (368).
 

Whether he has been a head coach, general manager, or an assistant coach the name Ed Comeau has been synonymous with success for more than a decade in the National Lacrosse League. In 2010, Comeau begins his second season as head coach and general manager of the Titans organization and his 13th season of affiliation with the NLL.
 
Comeau assumed the dual role of head coach and general manager of the Titans on June 30, 2008. In his first season with the team, Comeau captured an Eastern Division championship with a 10-6 record and then led the Titans to playoff victories over Rochester and Buffalo.   The season concluded with a hard-fought 12-10 road loss in the Champion’s Cup Final to highly-favored Calgary.
 
For his efforts, Comeau received votes for Coach of the Year, but it was his shrewd personnel moves before and during the season that made the Titans a championship contender and resulted in Ed being named NLL General Manager of the Year.
 
When the Titans announced they were relocating to Orlando for the 2010 season, owner Gary Rossenbach and team president Steve Donner made it a priority to retain Comeau as head coach and general manager. “Ed is one of top coaches in the NLL,” Donner said. “He has established an incredible record as both a coach and a general manager. We felt that it was imperative for the organization to retain Coach Comeau’s services as we open a new chapter in league history with our move to Orlando.”
 
Prior to his arrival with the Titans, Comeau spent four years in the Rochester Knighthawks, first as an assistant coach (2005) and then as head coach (2006-08),   As a head coach, Comeau compiled an overall record of 35-16 (.686 winning percentage) and earned two trips to the playoffs.   His record in Rochester included a league-best 14-2 regular season in 2007, that culminated with a sweep in the playoffs and a 13-11 win over Arizona in the NLL title game.
 
The Knighthawks 14-2 regular season record in 2007 tied the Albany (2002) for the best single-season record since the NLL went to a 16-game regular season schedule in 2002, while the 17 total wins remains the most in league history. Shortly after the season, Comeau was named recipient of the prestigious Les Bartley Award, as the NLL’s Coach of the Year.
 
From 1999-2003, Comeau served as an assistant coach with Toronto Rock under Bartley. In that capacity, Comeau helped Toronto to an overall record of 60-20 (.750). During that time, the Rock reached the Champions Cup Final five times, winning championships in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003.   When Bartley became ill following the season, Comeau was named interim head coach for a brief period of time.
 
He began his NLL career in 1998 with the Ontario Raiders as an assistant coach, moving to Toronto when the franchise relocated after that season.
 
Comeau’s career numbers in the NLL are staggering. In 12 seasons, he has been a part of 126 overall victories, has coached in seven championship games and has won five championships.   As a head coach, he is 49-29 overall (.628 winning percentage), including a regular season mark of 43-27 and a post-season record of 6-2. In the last four years, Comeau’s teams have averaged 11.8 victories a season.   As an assistant coach, his teams were 77-33 overall (.700 winning percentage) and 10-2 in the post-season.   In his 11 full seasons in the NLL, Comeau’s teams have missed the playoffs just twice.   He remains the only man in NLL history to win Coach of the Year and General Manager of the Year with different organizations.
 
In addition to his work in the NLL, Comeau has been a valuable asset to the amateur lacrosse community. He has spent the last 22 years as head coach at McMasterUniversity, where he earned a Bachelor of Commerce Degree in 1988. In addition, Coach Comeau earned a Master’s Degree in Sports Science at the United StatesSportsAcademy in 2008.
 
Comeau is a native of Ontario and is a sales executive for the Otis Elevator Company. He and his wife Tracy are the parents of twin boys, Alex and Spencer.

Huntley and his son Kevin Huntley, also a former All-American at John's Hopkins, are the only father–son duo to win two national championships, and are only the second pairing to score 100 or more goals each in their respective Division I lacrosse careers.

Huntley's career in professional lacrosse began in the inaugural season of the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League (a predecessor of the National Lacrosse League) in 1987 when he served as the Philadelphia Wings general manager and coach. As general manager, he recruited lacrosse stars Mike French, John Tucker, and John Grant, Sr. to play for his team. During the season, due to team injuries, Huntley stepped down from his coaching position and joined the team as a player. In two games, Huntley scored three goals.  In subsequent seasons, Huntley worked in various capacities for the Baltimore Thunder, Pittsburgh Crossefire, Washington Power and Colorado Mammoth.

Huntley has been an assistant coach, at times, for Loyola College in Maryland, the Baltimore Bayhawks of Major League Lacrosse, and four times for Team Canada in World Lacrosse Championship competitions. Huntley served as Assistant Coach for the 2006 World Lacrosse Championship gold medal winning Canadian team.

The 2008 Philadelphia Wings season marked the first season in five years that the Wings made the playoffs, ending the longest playoff drought in the history of the franchise. Following the 2010 season, Huntley was also named General Manager of the Wings.

Prior to the 2009 MLL season, Huntley was named the head coach of the expansion Toronto Nationals in Major League Lacrosse. He and the Nationals went on to win the 2009 MLL Championship with a 10-9 win over the Denver Outlaws.
