Hockey Codes

Bob Watson, nicknamed Whipper, is a Canadian former professional box lacrosse goaltender born on April 6, 1970. He played for the Toronto Rock in the National Lacrosse League and is regarded as one of the best goaltenders ever to play indoor lacrosse. With the Rock he won six NLL Championships and was named Championship Game MVP in both 2003 and 2011, and he was chosen NLL Goaltender of the Year in 2001 and again in 2008. After thirteen seasons in Toronto he retired to spend time with his family and to take a new job with the Waterloo Regional Police Service. He was the only inductee to the NLL Hall of Fame in 2011, receiving 86 percent of the votes, and was the third goaltender to be enshrined there.
