Toronto Rock 16, Calgary Roughnecks 10, Air Canada Centre, Toronto, ON

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 fifth year going to the games and our fourth year having seasons tickets.  My pal, Trish, came to the game.

The Rock were playing the Calgary Roughnecks.

We got there early enough to watch the teams warm up.

Going into tonight's game, Toronto had five wins and four losses and four wins and six losses.

Nick Rose, Toronto Rock's goalie, is the #1 goalie ... Rosie!

In November, Rock captain, Colin Doyle, announced his retirement.  Tonight was the celebration and before the game, the Rock retired his number.

Scotty Newlands sang the national anthem.

 The Rock players huddled to get psyched.

Colin Doyle and former Toronto Maple Leaf, Wendel Clark, did the ceremonial face-off.
