It was a pivotal weekend for the Calgary Roughnecks as they faced the ever-daunting back-to-back games on their home turf of Westjet Field. Win both and you’re a top eight team. Lose both and now you’re in quite a hole. Unfortunately, it was the latter for the Roughnecks as they dropped Friday night’s game 11-10 to the New York Riptide and then Saturday night’s game 9-7 to the Toronto Rock….

The San Diego Seals came barking into Philadelphia and slid away with a 12-11 win. It was virtually all San Diego in the first quarter. Wes Berg started the scoring. Sam LeClair quickly answered back for Philadelphia. However, that seemed to send the Seals on the prowl as they scored four more before the quarter ended. Philadelphia knew it had to make changes. The second half saw more evenly matched…
