Toronto Rock Tickets

Toronto Rock is the only Canadian franchise in the National Lacrosse League. It also holds the distinction of most championship league victories. In its initial season, the team was coached by Les Bartley who was known for his exploits with Buffalo Bandits. Les didn't disappoint his fans as he led Rocks to four championship titles in just five years. As a coach, he also guided the Rock to 51 wins in 70 matches and held an exceptional playoff record of 9-1. Under Les Bartley's reign, Colin Doyle, Bob Watson and Pat Coyle won multiple MVP awards. While it is difficult to maintain such high credentials in the top-tier US sports league, Toronto Rock continues to display excellent performances leading to division and championship titles even after the Les Bartley era.
