The Rochester Knighthawks have signed transition man Marty Hill to a one-year deal. The 24-year-old from Six Nations comes to the Knighthawks after spending two seasons in the National Lacrosse League. “It feels pretty good. I am really happy about it,” said Hill. “Another reason I signed was that we have a big game against Buffalo this week.” By signing with the Knighthawks, Hill rejoins the team that drafted him…
The Toronto Rock will look to get a second win this weekend, after beating the Buffalo Bandits at home on Friday night, and stay undefeated on the season as they travel to Rochester to take on the Knighthawks. The Knighthawks have yet to win a game this season, and actually already lost to the Rock in Week One, 13-12. Toronto lately seems to be a team that just can’t be…
Week 3 of the NLL season was a quite one, as just one game was on the schedule. The Buffalo Bandits, after having a bye week in week 2 of the NLL season, traveled to Vancouver to take on the Stealth. Vancouver was coming off a devastating 20-11 loss to the Toronto Rock, and bolstered their defense with the signing of Colin Boucher and the activation of hulking 6’3, 220…
The only suspensions in the NLL from week two will go to New England Black Wolves defenseman Mike McNamara, who was suspended one game following the New England win over Rochester, and Knighthawks defenseman Paul Dawson. Brett Manney and Sid Smith had an altercation at the end of the game and McNamara left the Black Wolves bench to be a part of it, which is the reasoning for the suspension….
Are the defending champions in trouble? Is there need to worry? Should the panic button be pushed? Some will say yes. The defending three-time champions are currently 0-2 (19GF/30GA), and both losses are to division rivals. This time last season they were on top of the east at 3-0 (33GF/23GA), and 3-0 in the division. Of course they have been without the services of injured forward Stephen Keogh for the first two games,…
The Rochester Knighthawks may be the three time defending champs, but after losing their first game of the season to the Toronto Rock by a goal and getting blown out in week two by the New England Black Wolves, there are concerns that the Knighthawks need to address to get this team back on track.

It has always been a saying that a new location can bring on a whole new mentality. However, nobody expected that moving the former Philadelphia organization to New England would create such a massive effect. In the Black Wolves second game on the year, it was New England that claimed a whopping 17-7 victory over 3-time defending champion, Rochester Knighthawks. It was the Kevin Crowley show at Mohegan, Saturday night….
The first week of NLL action had surprises across the league. The two that shocked the most may have been the New England Black Wolves winning their opener over the Buffalo Bandits and almost 400 miles to the east, the three time defending champion Rochester Knighthawks lost their opener to the Toronto Rock. In week two, these teams will see each other in another home game for New England. Regarding…
