It’s been a while, but John Grant Jr. is ready to hit the field again, according to an article in the Peterborough Examiner.

Grant, who hasn’t played since August of last year due to an infection that spread from an injured elbow to his knee, requiring emergency surgury, will play in the Peterborough Lakers’ final regular-season home game tonight against the St. Regis Indians.

“I’m going to be fired up, I’m not going to lie,” said Grant. “Last week, I warmed up and felt good to go, but I didn’t have a doctor’s note and I wasn’t quite mentally there. I had to watch that overtime game (an 11-9 win against the Six Nations Chiefs) and I had butterflies in my stomach the whole time.”

Calgary Coaches Update: The Calgary Herald has weighed in on the recent naming of Dave Pym as Roughnecks head coach and the promotion of forward Curt Malawsky to offensive assistant/assistant GM. According to the article, the pair are expected to begin immediate interviewing to fill the position of defensive coach.

“It has and will continue to be an honour and a wonderful privilege to work for owners, management and staff who share the same character, determination and hard work as that of the players who so proudly wear the Roughneck jersey,” said Pym in a written statement.

Jacobs On Radio: Knighthawks fans can hear an interview with newly-acquired forward Peter Jacobs tonight, as the 19-year-old will be a guest on WHAM 1180 at 6:45 tonight with Bob Matthews. Jacobs, who plays for the Sis Nations Arrows, was picked up in the Portland dispersal draft and holds the distinction of being the youngest player to ever appear in an NLL Championship Game (in 2008 at age 18).
