The Wings were without Holden Cattoni, Blaze Riorden, Ryan Wagner and Curtis Romanchych. Cattoni and Riordan combined for 157 points last year and are…

We’re in a fight for our playoff lives.” Fortunately for the Philadelphia Wings, their 14-13 OT victory over the Rochester Knighthawks keeps them in playoff contention. Not only did they prevent Rochester from clinching a playoff spot, they kept themselves alive. On fan appreciation night, it was also a night of family…
The Halifax Thunderbirds soared into Philadelphia and came out with a huge 14-10 win on Saturday evening at Wells Fargo Centre. The game (which had a playoff vibe) was fast and physical.

It would be interesting to see what kind of shape the Wings would be in, as they played Saturday…
