The Rochester Knighthawks have activated forward Aaron Wilson today from the injured reserve list. Wilson returns to the active roster as the Knighthawks prepare for their second straight game against the Calgary Roughnecks. “It’s an understatement how excited I am to be back,” said Wilson. “I have taken two months to do the best I can to stay in shape and I feel game ready now. I look forward to…
In on of the more anticipated trades in the National Lacrosse League, the Colorado Mammoth have traded for rookie forward Jeremy Noble. Noble was the second overall pick to the Rochester Knighthawks in the 2014 NLL draft and did not sign. Rochester traded Johnny Powless to Vancouver for the pick, but Noble expressed he could travel to the east coast every week for games. Playing with MLL’s Denver Outlaws and…
Rochester Knighthawks forward Dan Dawson rang in his 400th career goal in spectacular fashion on Saturday, February 28th when the Knighthawks defeated the Calgary Roughnecks, 12-11, in a rematch of the 2014 Champion’s Cup series. Just 39 seconds into the second quarter, and with the extra attacker on the floor, Cody Jamieson fed the ball to Dawson, who was positioned behind the Calgary goal. Dawson quickly dunked the ball in…
What a week!!! A battle of division leaders went to OT, a battle between the teams who played in the Champion’s Cup was decided again by a goal. We even had a goalie score a goal. Calgary loses their fourth one-goal game of the year. Most of the league is off this week as only two games are slated this weekend. But beware, the weekend of March 13-15 is sure…
As the Rochester Knighthawks defeated the Calgary Roughnecks on Saturday, they also entered a team legend into their hall of fame in Casey Zaph. We caught up with him after the game this week to discuss his immortality in Rochester.
We had some very exciting lacrosse and some unbelievable performances this past weekend. Some of which included goaltenders not only standing on their head to make some unreal saves, but also had a goalie score a goal, and not on himself. 1-Rob Hellyer–(5G/5A–Tor) Hellyer was a beast on Friday night. Hellyer’s first goal at :35 of the second quarter put the Rock in the lead until Edmonton tied it…
The Knighthawks celebrated Hall of Fame Night tonight by defeating the Calgary Roughnecks, 12-11 at Connors & Ferris Field at The Blue Cross. With former players looking on, Cody Jamieson scored the game-winner with 3:48 to play to extend Rochester’s winning streak to four games. The game was a rematch of the 2014 NLL Championship Series and it once again featured a late Matt Vinc save to preserve a one-goal…
The Rochester Knighthawks face-off against the Calgary Roughnecks for the first time in 9 months. The last time these teams met, the Knighthawks made NLL history by becoming the first team to ever three-peat after coming from behind in the mini-game after being down 2-0 by scoring the final three goals in just over a minute. But now things are a bit different. Calgary comes into the game at…
Week 8 of the NLL season saw a number of rookies make their NLL debuts, with Mike Burke in Colorado, Matt Bennett in Buffalo and Josh Johnson in New England all appearing in their first NLL games this season. While Burke has the most noticeable impact on paper, both Bennett and Johnson faired well in their NLL debuts, proving they deserve more playing time moving forward. With the NLL moving…
