During the 2009 season, Palidwor was traded from the Colorado Mammoth to the Toronto Rock for a second round pick in the 2010 entry draft. In his first and only game as a member of the Rock, he made 16 saves and allowed 10 goals in 45 minutes as the Rock lost 18–10 to Rochester. A week later, the trade was reversed as Palidwor was traded back to the Mammoth for the same draft pick.
