After a strong 5-1 start to the season, the Rock went 5-5 the rest of the way, but it was still enough to clinch first place overall. In the division semi-finals, the Rock faced the western division's Minnesota Swarm who, because their record was better than that of the Buffalo Bandits, crossed over into the East division. The Swarm ended the Rock's season by defeating them 20-11 at the Air Canada Centre to advance to the Eastern final.[1]
