With Garret Billings coming off an astounding 114 point season and legendary scorers Colin Doyle and Josh Sanderson returning, the Toronto Rock offense is feared by many around the league. While Toronto’s defense may not get as much publicity as their prolific offense, they are arguably just as high powered.

After winning the Champion’s Cup in 2011, the Toronto Rock followed that up with a season they would like to forget, simply because it didn’t end with a victory and a 7th NLL championship trophy.  That honour went to the Rochester Knighthawks, the team that ousted Toronto in the 2012 Eastern Division final.

There were five goaltenders at Philadelphia Wings camp vying for a spot on the roster. The Wings have two goaltenders already on their roster. And that’s not even counting Scott Komer, who will be at training camp in early December. “I’m excited to get a chance to play with Philly.” he told me.  “I like the size of the D and the way they organize their defense– I figure any…

On Saturday November 17th I had the chance to participate in the Philadelphia Wings rookie camp. During this three hours player showcase the coaching staff of the Wings made us go through drills and scrimmages.  It was great to get to play with some of the Wings future prospects and also some familiar faces that I had played with or against before. The QSLL/TNLL was well represented at the camp…

NLL training camps are right around the corner, but there are some NLL free agents who have not yet signed with their teams. Below is that list. Anthony Cosmo- Buffalo Bandits: Cosmo was franchised by the Bandits but has not yet signed. They gave up two first rounders for him so imagine they are committed to keeping him around.
