The Rock makes its most important change ever!
The Toronto Rock has a new owner. The fan590 has known of this change in ownership for a number of weeks but the name of the mystery man in Oakville is now known. Jamie Dawick will take over ownership from Brad Watters and the remaining shareholders from original […]
A little tired of the negative in sports, but what else is new.

So I am in my car this morning at 7:30 or so. Listening to today’s hockey insider. Mr. Damien Cox. He is a good hockey writer to be sure. Damien does like to paint a negative picture as a lot of writers do. They like to generate response like this one.
This morning Mr. Cox […]
Hate to say I told you so…and its not about me.

Well how much fun are the Chicago Blackhawks? Seriously. This is a new era in Blackhawk hockey. As a kid I always loved the Leafs. But after having watched the Hawks rebuild for the past five years or more, I am admiring from afar the job GM Dale Tallon has done with this team, along […]
More than a little late….

A few thoughts as I try to get caught up with what has been a very busy couple of months.
First off. The Toronto Rock relieve GM Mike Kloepher of his duties, or he resigned, take your pick. I liked Mike and we had some interesting chats over his tenure. But I listened to his thoughts […]

A huge weekend for the Rock!
February 26th, 2009 by dan.dunleavy
This weekend is huge for the Toronto Rock. And I mean Doug MacLean “HUGE!”
A home date Friday vs Minnesota and then the next night in Rochester against the Knight-hawks.
Another coaching staff has been blown out, the player personnel changes continue. Despite all the tinkering, this once championship franchise is now floundering tied for last with rival […]
The Rock fire coaching staff
January 20th, 2009 by dan.dunleavy
Toronto Rock hire new coaching staff.
The fact The Toronto Rock has hired a new coaching staff comes as no surprise. That does not make the news any easier for three good lacrosse minds, which were all born from previous Toronto Rock glory.
Head coach Glenn “the professor” Clark, assistant Terry “bully” Bullen, and Jim “Scoop” Veltman […]
“Canada turn around and give me a high five!”
January 7th, 2009 by dan.dunleavy
A reflection back on what was a nervous tournament for Team Canada.
Going into the gold medal game vs. Sweden, I found myself feeling sorry for Swedish forward Magnus Svensson Paarjavi.
The young man who said Canada would poop their pants if Sweden ever went up 2-0. I don’t think the kid knew what he was getting […]
Now that was close, I mean real close!

OK honestly, I know how proud we all are of Team Canada, and the kids efforts, me too! But, did you honestly think that game against Russia was going to go our way?
The game was exciting, full of mistakes by both teams. But in the end, it was a game that sold junior hockey once […]
OH what a night!
January 1st, 2009 by dan.dunleavy
Once again, Canada and the US put on a show for the ages at these World Junior Hockey Championships.
What character Canada showed after falling 3-0 down, to rally. There was the unspoken, but hockey talk on ice leadership from John Tavares, who put this team on his shoulders and said “hang on boys”. Dustin Tokasrski […]
