KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York was rocking Saturday night. 19,070 piled in to watch the Buffalo Bandits and Calgary Roughnecks do battle. The unified standings make games like these fun because these are two clubs that don’t see each other often, almost two and half years to be exact – and yet they have so much history between them. Buffalo could clinch a playoff spot with a victory and…
The Saskatchewan Rush grabbed the lead early and never let go in a 12-9 win over the Calgary Roughnecks. As a result, both teams have a 7-9 record with just two games left and they sit in a three-way tie with the Vancouver Warriors in ninth place. Zach Manns put the Rush on the board three minutes in with a mid-range shot. Robert Church added to the lead six minutes…
Week 19 marked the third last week of the season and for the Calgary Roughnecks and Saskatchewan Rush, the stakes couldn’t have been higher. Both teams sitting outside the playoff picture, both teams with identical 6-8 records and both teams getting to host each other in a home-and-home doubleheader. First up – Westjet Field in Calgary. A strong opening three quarters and a 52-save performance from Christian Del Bianco were…
Marvel Super Hero Night made its way to Calgary on Friday night with the hometown team donning Black Widow themed jerseys. In Albany’s first ever visit to Cowtown, the Firewolves took the Roughnecks to the absolute limit forcing overtime after an impressive fourth quarter comeback. Three minutes into the extra frame, the Roughnecks dipped into the 1970’s and summoned their own superhero – Tanner Cook, to save the day….
Two goalies. One hundred and two shots. Eighty-nine saves, and 60 minutes of tough, chippy lacrosse equaled one epic defensive battle. The return of grizzled warrior Brodie Merrill to the San Diego lineup was just the edge the San Diego Seals needed as they went on to defeat the Calgary Roughnecks 7-6 on Friday night at Scotiabank Saddledome in front of 14,143 fans. “It had that playoff atmosphere in here…
The Georgia Swarm’s Zach Miller scored on a crease dive from behind the net to give his team a 13-12 win in overtime against the Calgary Roughnecks on Friday night. After building up multiple leads of three and four goals in the first half, the Swarm had to come from behind to tie the game late and pick up the overtime victory. Georgia’s record improves to 8-6 on the season,…
Philadelphia needed several superheroes to pull off a big win against the Calgary Roughnecks this past weekend, and they got the performances they needed in a big 11-9 win on Marvel SuperHero Night at Wells Fargo. Calgary started the game strong—going up 5-2 in the first. When the game began, it was the Wings’ Sam LeClair who put the first “marvel”ous goal in. Calgary then went on to score three…
It’s been a minute since the Philadelphia Wings played the Calgary Roughnecks. And by a minute, that would be four years ago in the COVID shortened 2019/20 season. Back then Philadelphia was led by the likes of Kevin Crowley, Kiel Matisz, Matt Rambo and one Josh Currier. Of course, Calgary still had Curtis Dickson and Dane Dobbie sporting the red Roughneck jersey and the Riggers were fresh off their championship…
What a difference two weeks can make. When the Calgary Roughnecks stepped off the turf on February 3rd, they’d just dropped both games of a double header and plummeted to 15th in the standings – last place. You did not want to look at the power rankings if you were a Roughnecks fan. Following those two losses, it seemed like Josh Sanderson saw something the rest of us didn’t when…
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….
