Wings Face Toronto Rock In Pre-Season Exhibition Game in Halifax
Tuesday, October 3, 2006
The Philadelphia Wings
indoor lacrosse team takes on the Toronto Rock in their first exhibition game of
the season on Saturday, November 25 at 7 p.m. in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Halifax native and Wings’ third-year
defenseman Dan Finck will make his professional hometown debut in the contest,
which will be held at the Halifax Metro Centre.
“I’m really excited to be
able to play in a Wings uniform in Halifax,” said Finck. “In addition to putting on a great show
against the Toronto Rock in my hometown, this game will give our team some early
pre-season game time which is very valuable in preparing for the
season.”
The Wings and Rock faced
each other three times in 2006, with the Rock winning the regular season series
2-1. Both of Toronto’s wins came
with exciting overtime finishes at the Air Canada Centre.
The only other previous
professional lacrosse game held in Halifax was in 2001 between the Rock and the
then Montreal Express in front of 6,000 fans.
