Winnipeg - True North Sports & Entertainment Ltd. and National Lacrosse League are pleased to announce the Toronto Rock will face the Minnesota Swarm in NLL exhibition action at the MTS Centre for the first time ever on Saturday, December 9th.
Entering its 21st season, the National Lacrosse League is North America's professional indoor lacrosse league, featuring the best lacrosse players in the world. The NLL has thirteen teams playing in the major markets of the United States and Canada. The Rock and Swarm are currently East Division Rivals in the NLL.

While the game will be the first of its kind at the MTS Centre, it will be the second time the Rock have played an exhibition game in Winnipeg. Back on December 8th, 2002, Toronto downed the Ottawa Rebel 11-7 at the old Winnipeg Arena.
