BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — In their first game in nearly two years, the Buffalo Bandits not only welcomed back fans, but came out on top with a 16-9 win over the Calgary Roughnecks at KeyBank Center.
So uh... this winter is going to be FUN. For the first time in a long time, #Banditland was rocking tonight.
