Marty O'Neill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marty O'Neill is a former lacrosse player and current general manager of the Minnesota Swarm of the National Lacrosse League (NLL). O'Neill, a goaltender, first joined the Pittsburgh Bulls of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League (predecessor of the NLL) in 1991, but did not play.[1] He then played five seasons with the Boston Blazers, one with the Syracuse Smash, and two with the Buffalo Bandits before retiring after the 2000 season.
He was hired as the General Manager of the Philadelphia Wings in June of 2001[1], but led the Wings to only one playoff appearance in three years, and was fired after the 2004 season.[2] Only three months later, O'Neill was hired by the Minnesota Swarm to be their first-ever GM.[3] The Swarm finished 5th and missed the playoffs in their first year, but improved their record and made the playoffs in each of the next three seasons. For his efforts, O'Neill was named NLL GM of the Year in both 2007[4] and 2008[5], becoming the first multiple winner of the award.
