While we do not have an official attendance number as of yet. We have to wonder if San Diego can or will support the Seals. Also the arena needs better lighting.

After one home game Curt Styres told anyone who would listen that he believed in the Halifax market.
We wonder if Curt feels the same way tonight?
The Silence Is Deafening
Dane Dobbie was assessed a match penalty at 15:00 of the fourth quarter of the game vs Vancouver on Friday November 29 and earned himself a six game suspension in the process.
Now fast forward to Saturday December 21, the day of the Roughnecks home opener and banner raising vs Colorado and the silence is deafening.
Even those who have knowledge of the events that happened are not willing to divulge what was said by Dobbie. The league remains tight lipped and the Roughnecks wrote a single sentence on the team run website. Which you can find HERE
For a league struggling to rise above niche sport status. Suspending the reigning league MVP and sweeping the incident under the rug is a black eye for all involved.
