The Toronto Rock are a lacrosse team based in Toronto playing in the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The 2010 season was the 14th in franchise history, and 13th as the Rock.
Shortly after the 2009 season ended, the Rock franchise was sold to Jamie Dawick, a professional poker player [1] and businessman from nearby Oakville, Ontario. [2] Dawick's first move was to bring Terry Sanderson back on board as general manager. [2] Sanderson soon hired former Calgary Roughnecks head coach Troy Cordingley to coach the Rock [3] and the Rock's fortunes changed immediately.
They finished the 2010 season with a 9–7 record, their best record since their Championship win in 2005 and made the playoffs for the first time in three years. They defeated the Buffalo Bandits and Orlando Titans to get to the Championship game for the seventh time in team history but were defeated by the Washington Stealth.
