I used to go to roughneck games, but the environment just wasn't for me, I usually left with a screaming headache.
Bannister is coming across as a major d$uche. I would expect that this year is the last year for NLL in Calgary unless the team folds and someone else brings in an expansion team.
Its pretty sad because I went to the championship game in 2004 and it was amazing. But if you asked me if the Roughnecks won the championship last year I would have to look it up (They did)
Its sad because on the grass they've been a tremendous success story, their marketing and ownership is killing them.
Its pretty sad that a team struggles to survive with an average salary of $14,000. The leagues top salary is $25,000.00 and first year players are capped at $400.00/game.
