2009 Rochester Knighthawks Season
The Rochester Knighthawks are a lacrosse team based in Rochester, New York, playing in the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The 2009 season was the 14th in franchise history.
In September 2008, Knighthawks superstar John Grant, Jr. underwent emergency surgery on his left knee to remove an infection from his ACL. The surgery meant that Grant would miss the entire 2009 season. To make up for the loss of their most potent scoring threat, the Knighthawks pulled an unexpected move: they traded forward Andrew Potter and two first round draft picks to the Colorado Mammoth for the rights to lacrosse legend Gary Gait, and convinced Gait to return to playing after a three-year retirement.
