What to watch for vs. New York Riptide

Dan Dawson will make history in rematch vs. Riptide!

Hamilton, ON – The Toronto Rock (6-4) take on the New York Riptide (2-7) tonight at FirstOntario Centre.  The Riptide upset the Rock last weekend on Long Island, so the Rock will be looking for revenge.  The home side will finally have a true home floor advantage, playing in front of the Rock City faithful for the first time in 2022.

• Former Rock Damon Edwards scored two key transition goals early in the game for his new club, the Riptide. Another former Rock, Kieran McArdle also scored last weekend for New York.
