The Peterborough Century 21 Lakers have acquired veteran goaltender Nick Rose from the Oakville Rock. In exchange, the Lakers have sent goaltender Landon Kells and a first-round pick in the 2026 Major Series Lacrosse (MSL) Draft to Oakville. Rose, a battle-tested goaltender with championship experience, is widely regarded as one of the best in the game. Rose is currently the starting goaltender for the Calgary Roughnecks of the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The 37-year-old brings leadership, stability and a championship pedigree as the Lakers set their sights on another Mann Cup title. Adding to his impressive resume, Rose was named the 2024 NLL Goaltender of the Year while playing for the Toronto Rock. His elite play at the professional level further cements him as one of the game’s premier netminders. “We’re thrilled to bring Nick to Peterborough,” said Lakers head coach and general manager Mike Hasen . “His track record speaks for itself—he’s a proven winner, and his experience will be a huge asset for us. We also want to thank Landon Kells for his time in Peterborough. He has a bright future, and we wish him all the best in Oakville.” Rose is eager to join the Lakers and play in front of some of the best fans in lacrosse. “I had a conversation with Mike Hasen, and Peterborough was a very attractive option,” said Rose. “They are always in the hunt. I’m excited to go to one of the most historic Sr. franchises there is.” “I don’t have too many cracks left at winning a Mann Cup, so 100 per cent, I want to try and win one,” Rose added. “The Lakers organization is in the mix every single summer for it, and I’m excited to battle with my new teammates.” Rose will have some familiar faces to greet him in the Lakers dressing room. “I know Withers from Team Canada, and I know Hoggarth really well from his time in Orangeville in junior. I also know Hopey pretty well too, so it’s great to be joining a team with guys I already have a connection with.”  This trade is sure to have Lakers fans feeling lucky as they gear up for an exciting season.
