The 2010 Toronto Nationals season was the second for the franchise. After playing their 2009 season at BMO Field, the Nationals moved their home games to Lamport Stadium for their second season.[1] Coming off a Steinfeld Cup victory in 2009,[2] the Nationals were unable to repeat this achievement. They finished last in the league in 2010 and failed to qualify for the playoffs with a 3-9 record.[3] Brodie Merrill won the Major League Lacrosse Defensive player of the Year Award[4] and was named to the All-MLL team as a defenseman.[5]
