Milestones were set in the Mile High City for the Toronto Rock on Saturday night. As a team, they didn’t have much offensive muster, dropping a 10-5 decision to the Colorado Mammoth at the Pepsi Center. Individually, however, it was a fruitful game. Playoffs are out of the picture for the Rock but most of their players still have long careers ahead of them to rack up accomplishments. Kyle Aquin,…

With so much drama in the ACC, it’s kinda hard getting into the NCAA Tournament scene. But they, somehow, some way, keep coming up with interesting storylines every single day. I’m no Snoop Dogg, but if you use your imagination and tinker the first four lines of Gin And Juice with ACC references, it’s actually a pretty good summary of the conference’s season. Except Notre Dame, who’s sitting comfortably as…
