Calgary Roughnecks News Release
Rochester, NY - The Rochester Knighthawks earn first franchise victory with a 13-12 win over the Calgary Roughnecks on Saturday night at Blue Cross Arena.
Calgary held a 7-6 advantage heading into halftime but the Knighthawks, led by Curtis Knight (3g, 3a) and former Roughneck Holden Cattoni (1g, 5a), were able to overcome the visitors to secure their first home triumph.
Curtis Dickson was Calgary's top performer with a pair of goals and three assists while newly acquired Zach Herreweyers tallied four points (1g, 3a) in his first tilt with the Roughnecks. Eli Salama and Dereck Downs, who was traded to Calgary on Jan. 4, each scored twice while Reece Callies and Mitch Wilde added single markers to round out the scoring.
The Roughnecks will now head home for a date with new market Halifax Thunderbirds on Jan. 25. Game time is 7:30 p.m. It's an East Coast Kitchen Party with a 'kiss the cod' station at section 214, menu inspired by the Maritimes in the King Club and at The Wharf concession stand in section 227. Fans can enjoy music with an East Coast flair throughout the game including a halftime performance by the Nova Scotiables.
Single game tickets are available for purchase at Ticketmaster or the Scotiabank Saddledome box office. Fans can also secure a seat online at CalgaryRoughnecks.com or by calling 1-855-985-5000.
