Photos from the Toronto Rock’s 16-13 win over the Saskatchewan Rush on February 1, 2019 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
You can’t blame Challen Rogers for pausing when asked how old he is. After all, the 24-year-old has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. As captain of the Toronto Rock, he’s suddenly being looked upon to be a leader of men older and more experienced at their craft.
