Toronto Rock 13, Buffalo Bandits 11

Gord and I are season ticket holders for the Toronto Rock lacrosse team games ... the Rock is a professional lacrosse franchise in the National Lacrosse League (NLL).  This is our third year going to the games and our second year having seasons tickets.

Tonight was their first home game of the 2015 season (they won their first two away games) and they were playing the Buffalo Bandits.

The Rock were introduced player-by-player and formed a "T".

Terry Sanderson was the general manager of the Rock and he passed away in November ... there was a tribute to him before the game.

Scotty Newlands is back and sang the national anthems. 

The Rock huddled before the game to get psyched.

And the game began ...

These fans always sit across from us.

We've been sitting with the same fans the last four years.
