NLL: Halifax keeps pace in standings with win over Rochester

April 2, 2024

It was Roc the Rink Saturday night in Rochester, New York, as the Knighthawks hosted the Halifax Thunderbirds. Rochester sported some sweet custom uniforms honoring and representing the Flower City. The last time the Knighthawks wore some custom uniforms, they had an offensive explosion, but this game was a bit different. Halifax jumped out to an early lead and kept pace the rest of the way, matching anything Rochester did…

Like a good country song, there was heartbreak in Halifax on Friday night. During country night, the Halifax Thunderbirds were down 12-6 with nine minutes left in the fourth quarter during their game against the Georgia Swarm. Amazingly, they came back to make the game 12-11 with 5.7 seconds left. But a controversial call and mistake at the end prevented the storybook ending. But for Thunderbirds forward Austin Shanks, it…

What a difference two weeks can make. When the Calgary Roughnecks stepped off the turf on February 3rd, they’d just dropped both games of a double header and plummeted to 15th in the standings – last place. You did not want to look at the power rankings if you were a Roughnecks fan. Following those two losses, it seemed like Josh Sanderson saw something the rest of us didn’t when…
