Well, a young team will go through many struggles. Bonding on the road helps, but all in all, performance on the field will truly solidify this team. I'm not going into any details of what transpired after the game in the wee hours of Monday in Minnesota. I'm sure you all have already heard and or read by now. I'm thankful that noone was seriously hurt and the team is taking a very serious approach to the matter. That is NOT what we expect out of our Rochester Knighthawks.
We won't let it tarnish our preparation for this week and Hall of Fame Week in Rochester as we induct two gentlemen that bleed the purple and teal. Regy Thorpe and Pat Cougevan will be inducted into the Knighthawks Hall of Fame this Saturday night. I can't wait to yell REGGGYYYYY and COUGSSSSSS one more time at the BCA!

2012 KNIGHTHAWKS SCHEDULE
Hawk Talk with Gonzo and Knabber
Hawk Talk returns for another season, so many we've literally lost count, we're guessing about 15 years now, by far the longest running lacrosse radio show in the World. Hawk Talk has inspired other lacrosse radio shows to pop up around the country, but listen to the original Hawk Talk for all of your Rochester Knighthawks game insight, player interviews, coaches breakdown and of course the opinions of Gonzo, Knabber and Kieffilica. We're proud to announce that Hawk Talk with Gonzo and Knabber has been selected by the National Lacrosse League to represent the Rochester Knighthawks on their brand new NLL Radio and on their NLL Radio on the LIVE 365 app on your smartphone. Go to
www.nll.com and click on NLL Radio and search for Hawk Talk or catch us as always at
www.knighthawkskrew.com!

So far, I've only got a few interested, but I will get a block of tickets if enough show interest in going up. The Stock Exchange has a private event that night so they will not be open for a viewing party. I am working on having a viewing party at the Brickwood Grill on Monroe Avenue that evening.

Rochester Knighthawks at Philadelphia Wings on March 3rd.
Please let me know if you'd like to attend this game, I'm collecting hotel and ticket information and will have it at the Krew table this weekend. Dallas Eliuk will have his number retired and raised to the rafters during this game. If you've been a Krew member for a while, you know what an amazing goalie Dallas was and what a charismatic player and friend he was to the fans.
If you are interested in getting tickets to this game, please get in touch with me ASAP as I need to book our block of tickets. If you've never been to Philadelphia, this would be a great opportunity to let the family see the birthplace of Democracy in the United States.
