February 19, 2015 - National Lacrosse League (NLL)
Rochester Knighthawks News Release


It was 11 years ago, that Matt Moulson was drafted by the National Lacrosse League's Rochester Knighthawks. On Saturday, February 21st, the Knighthawks will present the current National Hockey League standout with his draft jersey prior to their showdown with the Buffalo Bandits.

The Knighthawks will host their thruway rivals for the second time this season. Prior to the 7:30 p.m. game, Moulson and former NHL Coach of the Year Ted Nolan will sign autographs in the Upper Atrium Lobby. Moulson and Nolan will also take part in the ceremonial faceoff.

Moulson will join the Knighthawks for the first time that evening since being drafted in the fourth round (37th overall) by Rochester in the 2004 NLL Entry Draft. The Mississauga, Ontario native played his Junior "A' lacrosse with the Mississauga Tomahawks before heading to Cornell University in 2002 to focus on hockey. After four years with the Big Red, Moulson broke into pro hockey in 2006-07 and has now played in over 450 NHL games in nine seasons. He is also a three-time 30-goal scorer.

Like Moulson, Nolan has a connection to the Knighthawks, as he still serves as the team's Special Advisor to the President. Nolan, who joined the Knighthawks' organization in 2009, has won three NLL Champion's Cup rings with Rochester. Nolan, who coaches Moulson, is his sixth as a head coach in the NHL. In 1997, he was awarded the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's Coach of the Year.

On February 21st, fans arriving early can also take advantage of the Knighthawks Pregame Party, which features live music by Open G and $2.00 drafts from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The group includes season ticket holders Paul Lewis and John Matina. To listen to the band, go to http://opengmusic.com/.
