[Jack Cribbin]

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.
