Beooklin Oe LOB 100 "It "is all finally wrapped up Brooklin Redmen officially have a new general manager in the person of Bob Duignan, well known" in lacrosse circles in this area. Club executives of the senior fran- chise voted unanimously during a special meeting last weék to install the Oshawa refident to the post, en- ding a month of speculation since the retirement of Mike Gray. Duignan had publicly expressed his interest in- taking over from Gray, but was hesitant to make any concrete moves until further con- sultation with Al Garrard, manager of the Whitby Warrior junior fran- chise, with whom Duignan had worked closely for the past couple of years. Duignan, a solid worker while the Oshawa Green Gaels were in opera- tion, had been the first-choice of Redmen coach Peter Vipond for the job, and stated he was honoured by Vipond's consideration. : "It's a tremendous challenge for me because it's a new game to me" said Duignan. LJ "There definitely is a different element between junior and senior which makes this a fresh challenge. I enjoy the style of ma- jor lacrosse and I'm looking forward -to dealing with the players." This will prove to be the number one priority on Duignan's agenda. Redmen must declare 25 players . within the next few weeks which means big decisions must be made by both the new general manager and coach Vipond. But Duignan was confident there would be few problems. "I'm familiar with a lot ot the ball players, so it won't take long to get a study on their personalities and abilities," said Duignan. 'We have a tremendous amount of talent. A i EI Lr aru ny us toughness and aggressiveness combined with personality and at- titude befitting of the Redmen organization would be ideal. With those ingredients, we should be able to put together a national championship."

Duignan brings with him an im- pressive record in lacrosse, first during the tenure with the now- defunct junior Oshawa Green Gaels and most recently with the War- riors. He is known as a valuable communicator with players and bet- ween Duignan and coach Garrard, the Warriors organization is great- ly respected across the province. Duignan has said communication with his players has been the most important aspect as far as he is concerned.

His introduction to the Redmen and senior lacrosse stemmed from last year's Mann Cup Champion- ship, held in Whitby between Redmen and New Westminster Salmonbellies. Using his organizational ex- perience of the previous year when the Warriors competed for the Min- to Cup in Whitby, Duignan made a hefty contribution. His association with Vipond goes back even farther, to 1982 when Vipond came in past way through the season as head hon- cho of the Green Gaels. With Duignan now committed to the Redmen, the road is paved for what the organization obviously hopes will be a successful "87 cam- paign culminating: with another Mann Cup Championship.
