Two Knighthawks’ games in April on CBS Sports Network 

(December 31, 2012)… The National Lacrosse League returns to CBS Sports Network on Saturday, April 6th with a live broadcast featuring the defending champion Rochester Knighthawks and the Philadelphia Wings at The Blue Cross Arena at 6:00 p.m.

In return, the Wings received Jordan Hall, Paul Rabil, Joel White and Robbie Campbell.

The second game is set for Saturday, April 20th, as the Knighthawks visit the Buffalo Bandits at 7:30 p.m. The game could have playoff implications as the I-90 rivals meet on the final day of the regular season. In Rochester, the games will be broadcast on Time Warner Cable Channel 232.
