It was a perfect script for the Thunderbirds as they won in their National Lacrosse League debut.
Halifax dominated in fashion at the Scotiabank Centre Saturday night as they took the turf for the first time officially in their new home beating the New York Riptide 12-4.
You could feel it as soon as you stepped into the arena – the adrenaline and the excitement. Just as the voices boomed and the crowd erupted, a quiet hush fell over the room as the lights dimmed and the GLOW show began; telling the story of the Thunderbirds journey to Halifax. Traditional dancers and singers hit the turf to perform, followed by the Halifax Thunderbirds Dance Team. Afterwards it was game on!

This was a monumental night for the Thunderbirds, dominating their first win in the league and starting off their season strong. Seeing the team come together for the home opener was special, but we know it couldn’t have happened without an amazing crowd standing behind them. So thank you Halifax, for a truly memorable night.
December 21st the Thunderbirds take on the Rochester Knighthawks. Tickets can be purchased by visiting TicketAtlantic.com, or by visiting the Scotiabank Centre Box Office, or at any participating Atlantic Superstore location.
Feel the Thunder! Go Thunderbirds!!
