"Naming a head coach is an important step toward our goal of competing for an NLL championship," said Carey. "We have a lot of pieces in place on and off the floor to achieve success, and we're backed by tremendous ownership in the Seneca Nation. Their support and commitment give us every opportunity to bring championships back to the city of Rochester. Our current coaches are aware of the process and understand the importance of exploring all potential candidates."
Interested candidates are encouraged to submit their information and credentials for consideration. All inquiries should be directed to info@knighthawks.com. Further updates will be provided as the search progresses.

In 2025-26, the Knighthawks completed their first season under the ownership of the Seneca Nation. The franchise saw increases in ticket, suite, and sponsorship sales. On April 19, Rochester ended the season with a franchise-record crowd of 9,024 fans.
