The Pride will honor the wounded veterans by warming up in special Under Armour shirts with the Wounded Warrior Project logo.

BUCKTOOTH'S SIX NET CANNONS A WIN OVER PRIDE
Boston's Brett Bucktooth scored six goals and added an assist as the Cannons defeated the Pride 16-13 in front of 2,966 Saturday night at Yurcak Field. The game was not without controversy however as a two-point goal from Jesse Hubbard went through the net yet was inexplicably disallowed by the officials. The goal would have given the Pride a 9-8 advantage in the third quarter. The momentum killer led to three unanswered Cannons goals, enough to put the game out of reach for the Pride. New Jersey was paced by Rob Scherr's 20 saves and Scott Urick (3g, 2a) and Kyle Harrison's (2g, 3a) 5 point efforts on the night.
