The league’s top team, the Buffalo Bandits, were back in action Saturday night on their home floor as they welcomed the Calgary Roughnecks for a showdown. Buffalo sat atop the standings, while Calgary was right on the line for a playoff spot. I’d like to go on the record right now and say that prior to this game, I said that Calgary’s record was not indicative of their caliber, specifically…
The March to May continued from Gas South Arena on Saturday night as the hometown Georgia Swarm took on the Saskatchewan Rush. Saskatchewan came in as arguably the league’s hottest team, while Georgia sat in the top eight and was finding their stride. This game was a defensive masterpiece by both sides. It’s always fun to watch two of the league’s best clubs do battle, and this one did not…
The late game of the Week 15 Friday night slate came to you from Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California. The hometown Seals were set to do battle with the visiting Vancouver Warriors. Both teams were right in the middle of the pack in the standings, so a win would be crucial in improving their playoff chances. San Diego has been a tenacious team all year long, using late-game heroics…
The Philadelphia Wings lost another game Saturday against the Albany FireWolves. The music was pumping, but the players struggled to find their beat during the Emo band night. The scoreboard read 12-10 when the clock hit 00:00 at the end of the game. The score was not a true reflection of Albany’s solid domination over Philadelphia. The end of the first saw both teams score three each. It was very…
The Toronto Rock had a statement win on Friday night against the Halifax Thunderbirds, beating them 15-12 on Friday night at the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax. This was Toronto’s first game since trading 2024 goalie of the year Nick Rose, 2022 defensive player of the year Mitch De Snoo and others in an effort to rebuild. They responded with Corey Small scoring four goals, Josh Dawick scoring a hat trick…
The Loud House was buzzing as the hometown Colorado Mammoth were back in action in Week 14. The Mammoth have been hot lately, and as we begin the March to May, playoff jockeying is heating up. This game was going to be must see, as the potent Colorado offense would try to spoil the Roughnecks debut (or return) of Nick Rose, who was traded from Toronto earlier in the week….
It was Marvel Night in Rochester, New York, as the hometown Knighthawks welcomed the Albany FireWolves to town. Rochester sported some slick indigenous Black Widow inspired uniforms and looked to use those superpowers to get bragging rights over their interstate foes. The crowd was buzzing as this was the first Rochester home game in over a month. Rochester had a perfect start and perfect ending to this game. In the…
The first game of the Week 14 slate was set to be a good one as the hometown Ottawa Black Bears welcomed in the Georgia Swarm for the first time ever. Georgia came into the game in good standing as far as the top eight was concerned, while Ottawa was right on the line and needed a win. These two clubs did battle back in January, and it was the…
The Rochester Knighthawks were on a mission. The whistle blew and a minute and seven seconds later the K-Hawks were in the lead. The visitors never looked back and when the dust settled on “Roughneck Rodeo Night,” Rochester rode out of Cowtown with a 15-10 victory. Rochester was coming off a 17-9 shellacking at the hands of Saskatchewan and definitely looked like the hungrier team on Saturday night. Ten first-half…
Do you smell that? No, it isn’t the lovely smell of Cheerios in downtown Buffalo or the smell of the ocean off the piers of SoCal. It’s a beautiful, budding rivalry between the Buffalo Bandits and the San Diego Seals. Just a week ago, the Seals handed the Bandits their first loss in an overtime thriller. That game was so nice, we are going to do it twice in as…
