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.
