My boyfriend and I recently attended a Toronto Rock game (which we won!). For those unfamiliar with the National Lacrosse League (NLL), the Toronto Rock is Toronto’s professional lacrosse team which plays in the Scotia Bank Arena. It’s just as fun as going to a Toronto Maple Leafs game, but about 1000 x more affordable.
What many people are also unaware of, is that there are many similarities between hockey and lacrosse besides just their arenas.
For example, Toronto Maple Leafs captain John Tavares’ uncle, coincidentally also named John Tavares, is a Hall of Fame lacrosse player.
