Toronto -The National Lacrosse League Board of Governors met in Toronto on Thursday to vote on proposed rule changes for the 2012 campaign and there are several tweaks that will be implemented for the coming season.
“These rule changes are expected to allow the players of the NLL to further display their speed and athleticism on the floor this season”, said League VP of Operations Brian Lemon.
With the NLL draft completed earlier in the week, training camps are next up on the lacrosse calendar. In a move that will impact how team’s move forward with their roster selection process, the number of players allowed to participate in training camp has increased from 36 to 40. The Rock will not run a rookie and free agent camp as they had in previous years and go straight to main camp utilizing the new flexibility afforded by the increase in numbers.
The Toronto Rock will open their official training camp in late November. The Rock will begin defence of their NLL Championship on Sunday, January 8 at Air Canada Centre against the Calgary Roughnecks.
