Toronto Rock 2017-18 Season Preview
By Austin Owens
The Toronto Rock will have a tough test ahead against their top the rival Buffalo Bandits. This team looks to be up to any task they are faced with this season
The Toronto Rock have gone through significant turnover of their roster over the past two seasons.
For a team who has experienced very minimal turnover for the majority of its history, the Rock have now started off the last two seasons with different looking lineups.
Among the 2017 draftees, only the Rock’s first pick, Drew Belgrave, cracked the opening night lineup. Fifth-rounder Christian Burgdorf was released by the team after not reporting to training camp.
Fellow draftees Alec Tullett and Josh Jubenville have been placed on the Draft List as they are finishing up their college careers at Brown University and Davenport University respectively.
Sixth-Round pick Dan Craig has been placed on the Physically Unable to Perform List.
The Rock will be looking to better last season, where the made it to the Eastern Division Finals against the Georgia Swarm but were swept by the eventual champions.
Here’s what the Rock roster will look like come December 8, when they open their season in Buffalo against the rival Bandits.
