The Toronto Rock are a lacrosse team based in Toronto playing in the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The 2016 season was the 19th in franchise history, and 18th as the Rock.
After an 0–6 start to the season, the Rock were able to turn things around, winning three of four including a 17–6 shelling of the Knighthawks. [1] But the turnaround was temporary, as injuries decimated the team. The Rock only won two more games the rest of the season, finishing out of the playoffs for the first time since 2009.
