December 12th @ Ottawa Black Bears
The Black Bears have had a busy offseason and look to build on another all-star season from the NLL’s reigning goal-scoring leader, Jeff Teat. During the 2024/25 season, we routed Ottawa 16-7 on the back of a Robert Church 6-goal game.

January 30th @ Calgary Roughnecks
The Battle of the Prairies continues January 30th when we head to Calgary to invade the Saddledome. Last season in Calgary was a wild game in which we prevailed 16-13. Veterans Church and Keenan led the charge with matching 3-goal, 7-point performances.
February 7th @ San Diego Seals
We make a stop in San Diego to take on last season’s goal-scoring runner-up, Wesley Berg and the Seals. An 8-point night from Church and a 7-point night from Manns powered our team to a 12-8 win in last season’s meeting.
February 14th vs. Vancouver Warriors
Love is in the air, and what better way to celebrate than by watching us take on the Vancouver Warriors at home? Clark Walters led the way in last season’s win over the Warriors, with a 2-goal, 6-point performance.
February 22nd @ Philadelphia Wings
We’re heading out on the road for a few weeks, first stop, Philadelphia. The Wings took the victory over us for the first time ever in last year’s overtime thriller. We’re looking to get one back in the win column when we head to Philadelphia on February 22nd.
February 27th @ Buffalo Bandits
Time to avenge last season’s loss in the NLL finals when they take on the reigning champions. We narrowly dropped the finals series to the Bandits 2-1 and look to set the tone for what could be a rematch between us and the Bandits in this year’s playoffs.
February 28th @ Rochester Knighthawks
Looking to continue our dominance over the Knighthawks we head to Rochester on February 28th. In our first meeting last season, we walked away with a 14-12 victory off of a 7-point night from Austin Shanks. Game two saw a dominant performance featuring hat tricks from Church and Walter, as well as another 7-point night from Shanks.
