I wouldn't be able to accurately give the APSL League statistics in a
short message which are probably available somewhere anyway so I've got
some I've kept of my own.

Toronto Rockets Final Stats
      I can really only comment on the home games played at Etobicoke
Centennial Stadium.

Final Position  7th in the Seven Team League.

6 points to win in regulation or overtime
4 points to win by shootout
2 points to lose in shootout
0 points to lose in regulation or overtime
1 point for each goal scored in regulation time (up to max of 3)
Surprisingly this year the Rockets did not play in any tie-breaking
shootouts nor any sudden-death overtimes.

Interesting that Toronto never got to play any team better than 5th
at game time.  (Of course to beat Toronto you could hop back up to
playoff contention!)   The Final standings 1st to 7th were:
Seattle, Los Angeles, Montreal, Colorado, Vancouver, Fort Lauderdale
Strikers, and Toronto.

The schedule seems awkward and that was caused by the Houston Force
dropping out of the league so Montreal and Vancouver filled their place.
The Eastern Division would have Montreal, Fort Lauderdale and Houston
visit twice per season.  The Western would visit once.

9.5     DiFlorio

Not enough goals for the Rockets even when they won!  They had 8 less
goals than the 6th place scoring Strikers.  That's worth over a win in
bonus points.

Well the President of the Rockets, Tony Fontana was on the radio saying
he'd operate the team in the APSL next year.
