The Rochester Knighthawks (also known as the K-Hawks) are a professional box lacrosse team based in Rochester, New York, that competes in the National Lacrosse League (NLL).[1] The team plays its home games at Blue Cross Arena.
The Knighthawks are owned by Terry Pegula who purchased the intellectual property of the team from former owner Curt Styres.[2] Styres moved the previous version of the team to Halifax, Nova Scotia, as the Halifax Thunderbirds at the end of the 2018–2019 season. As an expansion team they are not a continuation of the previous Knighthawks.[3] All records and championships followed the original franchise to Halifax.
