Friday, January 2nd, 2009

The Buffalo Bandits enter 2009 slightly healthier than last winter, but likely just as hungry as Darris Kilgour amps up his crew for what should be another strong run at the Champion's Cup. Although the loss of Brett Bucktooth and likely Pat McCready for the season will hurt, the team finally ...

The Rochester Knighthawks are on the tail-end of an off-season that made even Amy Winehouse look semi-sane. First former head coach Ed Comeau leaves the Hawks for a new gig in New York, which was followed by an array of rumours for most of the summer of who his replacement would be. ...
