Quickest Way To The Top: Buy A Champion

Hungry for a championship in Toronto, a group from Toronto (or at least basing their operations out of Toronto) bought the 2008 Major League Lacrosse champion Rochester Rattlers. During a press conference Friday, the team was renamed the Toronto Nationals to reflect the true purpose of this team: to act as a training team for the Team Canada and Team Iroquois national field lacrosse teams. The United States have dominated the field over the past several decades while the Canadians and Iroquois Nationals have found only limited success.

Not all of the members from the championship team are making the move North but will enough come to challenge for another championship? With the attendance being down for the Rock this year and all other factors considered, will this team survive in Toronto? Most importantly, will this team lead to success on the National level for Team Canada and Team Iroquois?

To find the answers to some of these questions join the team at BMO field in Toronto on the following dates:

Friday May 22 @ 7:30 PM
Friday May 29 @ 7:30 PM
Saturday June 13 @ 7:00 PM
Saturday June 27 @ 7:00 PM
Thursday July 23 @ 7:30 PM
Saturday August 8 @ 7:00 PM
