Toronto Tomahawks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Toronto Tomahawks were a team in the original National Lacrosse League. The Tomahawks played their home games at Maple Leaf Gardens during the league's first season in 1974[1] and compiled a 17–23 record. This placed them fifth out of six teams in the NLL and out of the playoffs. Following the completion of the season, the Tomahawks were sold[2][3] and received league approval to move the team to Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island, New York.[4][5] However, ultimately it was decided to relocate the team to Boston to become the Boston Bolts for the start of the 1975 NLL season,[6][7][8] with the Rochester Griffins becoming the Long Island Tomahawks.[6][9][8]
