Toronto Arrows Comments
“Brock is an outstanding young Ontario product with a big future in the game, both in sevens and fifteens, and he is a great addition for us given some of our early-season injury challenges,” said Mark Winokur, Toronto Arrows Chief Operating Officer, and General Manager. “We look forward to seeing him make an impression on MLR right away.”
