Rochester Knighthawks News Release


The Rochester Knighthawks will play their regular season home finale on Saturday, April 25th when they host the New England Black Wolves at 7:30 p.m. at Connors & Ferris Field at The Blue Cross Arena. The Knighthawks will honor our men and women in uniform on Military Appreciation Night.

"I have an enormous respect for anyone who made the sacrifice and commitment to represent our country," said Knighthawks forward Joe Walters, whose father served in Vietnam. "They deserve all the credit and attention. They are the real heroes."

That night, the Knighthawks will raise funds for Honor Flight Rochester and Veterans Count. Fans can go online to www.knighthawks.com/military to purchase $15 ticket in the 200 Ends. Five dollars from each ticket will go to benefit the organizations. Throughout the game, Honor Flight Rochester and Veterans Count will be accepting donations as well.

The Knighthawks will also donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of special military-themed T-shirts to each group. To learn more about Honor Flight Rochester, go online to honorflightrochester.org. For more information on Veterans Count, go to vetscount.org.

The evening will include an Armed Forces Joint Color Guard and a ceremonial faceoff, along with an appearance by members of the Canandaigua VA Center and Dogs on Deployment. During the game, the Knighthawks will pay tribute to the men and women of our armed forces. Fans are encouraged to send in photos of loved ones who have served or are currently serving to Account Executive Charlie Ragusa at [email protected].

The Knighthawks (11-5) enter Saturday's contest in second place in the East Division. Rochester is in the hunt for first place in the East Division and has secured its fifth straight appearance in the Champion's Cup Playoffs. With a win last Saturday, the three-time defending National Lacrosse League champions locked up a home playoff game. To support Military Appreciation Night, fans can call the Knighthawks office at (585) 454-HAWK (4295).
