Vancouver and Toronto are both last in their respective divisions. The win was just Toronto’s third of the season,…

The Rock fell to 2-7 and remain in last place in the East after a 15-10 loss to Dickson’s Calgary Roughnecks at the Air Canada Centre, their first of two home games this weekend. Dickson’s sock trick led the Roughnecks to their first win since February…

1-6 never felt so good. Toronto Rock goaltender Nick Rose was all smiles after his team’s first win of the season Friday night, a night on which he also made team history. Rose’s empty net goal at 13:43 of the fourth quarter was the first ever goal scored by a Toronto Rock goaltender. A goalie goal. It was the insurance marker in a 14-12 win over the Buffalo Bandits, the…
“There wasn’t going to be any heartbreak tonight.” – Nick Rose Everything finally went right for the Toronto Rock. Their 14-12 takedown of rival Buffalo Bandits on Friday night at the Air Canada Centre was the embattled Rock’s first win of the season and it’s one they can be proud of.

I…
The Toronto Rock are 0-5. That sentence alone is enough to make the head of a lacrosse fan spin. The Toronto Rock lost last night to the Georgia Swarm even though they scored 17 goals. The Toronto Rock had 25 goals total before the output of 17 last night. I am so confused that I cannot format this story properly. The Rock’s 0-5 start is now the story of the NLL…
