Toronto – The Toronto Rock are taking Twitter by storm. Ten Toronto Rock players as well as President and Owner Jamie Dawick (@JDawick) can be found firing out witty banter and insight on Twitter.
“I think it’s a great way to engage fans and interact,” said Dawick. “I hadn’t tweeted at all prior to the World Series of Poker in July, but I found the interaction while I was in Las Vegas with both lacrosse and poker fans to be a tremendous experience.”
Players utilizing Twitter include newly acquired Josh Sanderson (@joshsanderson19) and his cousin, veteran Rock defender, Phil Sanderson (@18flipper). The latter has always been known to deliver a gem or two in the locker room and hasn’t disappointed in his first days of tweeting.

The National Lacrosse League’s Social Media policy allows each individual team to create their own rules for their own staff and players to follow.
“This is a case of the most accessible pro athletes becoming even more accessible to fans,” explained Dawick.
In addition, Rock fans can always follow the official Twitter feed of the Toronto Rock @TorontoRockLax. The Toronto Rock, with over 3,000 followers, are the most followed team on Twitter in the NLL.
