The Cannons were fired up for their first game at their new home, and to kick of the 15th anniversary season. In a high scoring showdown between two talented teams,…

Stephen Berger and Ryan Boyle retired. Paul Rabil and Mike Stone were traded….
The New England Black Wolves are currently in last place in the eastern division standings. After going 2-0 to start the season they’ve struggled mightily. They are two games out of a playoff spot behind a Buffalo Bandits team with a lot of talent. So it makes sense to question if they will be a playoff team, right?
