Josh Sanderson says he could sense it, but it still didn’t dull the shock when the hammer dropped. The Toronto Rock had just finished a weekend sweep of its games, including Saturday’s impressive win over the Buffalo Bandits.The winning glow of the weekend barely gone, Sanderson found out Tuesday he was no longer a Rock. He was a Roughneck.

“After we won both our games last weekend I thought it was off so I was a little bit shocked when it happened,” he told The Canadian Press.

Such is life as a professional athlete and Sanderson found himself at the center of the biggest trade this season, swapping places with Calgary’s Lewis Ratcliff as both squads continue to search for a spark to light up their inconsistent offenses. Sanderson understands this, and knows what’s expected of him in Calgary. He’s eager to live up to expectations.

“Basically, I want to help build it out there,” he told The Calgary Herald. “I’m being traded for one of the top guys in the league so I want to reward their confidence in me and I want to do it right away.”

Their debuts are on hold, though, as both teams are off until April 5.
