Nick Rose Re-Signs On One-Year Deal

Reigning NLL Goalie of the Year Will Return to Rock City

Oakville, ON – Toronto Rock Owner, President, and GM Jamie Dawick today announced that reigning NLL Goalie of the Year Nick Rose has re-signed with the club on a one-year deal.  Rose was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent, with his current agreement set to expire on July 31.

The signing is pending league approval.

“This is home for me,” said Rose.  “We like what we have here and the path we are on.  At the same time, we are all getting older and running out of time to get it done together with this group, so there’s no better time than this season to finish the job.”

The 36-year-old native of Orangeville, ON passed Bob Watson for the all-time Rock lead in both career wins (108) and career saves (6,493) during his historic 2023-24 run.  Rose’s spectacular season saw him lead the NLL in wins (15), Goals-Against Average (9.18), and Save Percentage (.812), winning the goalie version of the triple crown.

Rose has spent nearly his entire NLL playing career with the Rock after being acquired in 2012.  Prior to that, he had brief stints in Boston and Calgary before the Rock made an in-season move to bring him home to Toronto from the Roughnecks.  Fun fact, Nick Rose was originally drafted by the Rock in the third round of the 2008 NLL Draft.  After being released from Rock training camp in 2008, he found his way to Boston to get begin his NLL career.

On Monday, the NLL announced a change to the Free Agency timeline:
