March 1, 2024

It’s been a minute since the Philadelphia Wings played the Calgary Roughnecks. And by a minute, that would be four years ago in the COVID shortened 2019/20 season.

NLL: Roughnecks get first win of season in front of home crowd

January 4, 2024

For the first two games of the season, the Calgary Roughnecks agonizingly teased fans with the potential of how good they could be. In a Rochester, a scintillating offensive put up 10 first half goals before stalling in the second half and allowing the Knighthawks to squeak out a win. A four-goal effort by Tyler Pace in San Diego was wasted when the team went cold in the fourth and…
