2018 Rock Picks Set To Battle For Roster Spots

Oakville, ON – Toronto Rock Owner, President and GM Jamie Dawick today announced the re-signing of defenders Brad Lyons and Mitchell Gustavsen.  Lyons has signed a one-year agreement, while Gustavsen has inked a three-year deal.

The signings are pending league approval.

Selected in the second round of the 2018 NLL Draft, 24th overall, Lyons spent the 2018-19 season on the Rock’s practice as he continued his development.  At just 20-years old, he still has another year of Junior A lacrosse ahead of him with the Peterborough Lakers of the OJALL.  Lyons projects as a shutdown defender that plays with an edge.

Gustavsen, 21, was selected in the sixth round, 68th overall in the 2018 NLL Draft.  Like Lyons, he also spent the entire 2018-19 season on the practice roster and will be coming to camp to compete for an opening day roster spot.  Specializing in taking faceoffs, the Rock hope he can develop into a dominant force at the dot.
