The Toronto Rock are a lacrosse team based in Toronto playing in the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The 2006 season was the 9th in franchise history, and 8th as the Rock (they played one season as the Ontario Raiders). The Rock won the Championship in the 2005 season, but followed it up with a mediocre 8-8 record and an early exit from the playoffs at the hands of the Rochester Knighthawks.
