Dickson, Dobbie rise to new NLL heights in Roughnecks’ road win over Warriors​on February 8, 2025 at 8:26 pm

More milestones for the dynamic duo helped win another game for the Calgary Roughnecks.

Curtis Dickson’s three goals pushed him into sixth spot all-time among National Lacrosse League snipers, while Dane Dobbie’s six-point night — including two goals — saw him jump into ninth place in the annals of NLL scoring.

It was all part of a Roughnecks 15-12 win late Friday over the host Vancouver Warriors at Rogers Arena that was payback for a 14-10 drop to their rivals in the late-December home opener.

“Awesome (night), honestly,” ‘Superman’ Dickson told TSN post-game. “It’s a tough place to play, and the Warriors are playing good lacrosse right now.

“To avenge our loss to them earlier in the year means a lot.”

Dickson’s hat-trick moved him past Dan Dawson on the league’s list, with a career tally now of 553.

“That’s pretty cool,” Dickson told TSN. “But at the end of the day, I’m still chasing Dane (who’s next on the list at 559). I’ve got to catch up to him before I can celebrate.

“It’s a cool accomplishment. It’s something that I can look back on my career and enjoy.”

Fellow West Coast native and partner-in-crime Dobbie can do the same one day, as he continues to soar up the NLL’s leaderboards, wheeling past the great Gary Gait on the historic points list — to a 1,166 total — with his performance Friday night.

Dickson’s young boy, Hayes, was on hand for the milestone make, making the night even more special for the Riggers legend not far from his home town of Port Coquitlam, B.C.

“He’s going to be nine months in a couple days, so it’s always special having him here,” said Dickson, who’s wife Theresa celebrated in the stands with their little guy. “Hayes is 3-0 when he’s in attendance now, so he’s our good-luck charm.”

Haiden Dickson also netted the hat-trick for the Roughnecks, while Tanner Cook tallied twice in the decision to move the Riggers to fourth in the NLL standings with a 5-3 record.

Tyler Pace, Ethan Ticehurst, Bennett Smith and Mathieu Gautier scored once each on the night, while goaltender Cam MacLeod made 40 saves for the victory over the Warriors — now 4-5.

The Warriors drew first blood scoring twice within the first two minutes, before the Roughnecks took control of the game and put five consecutive goals on the board from Pace, Dobbie — twice — the younger Dickson and Ticehurst.

The home team stemmed the run with a goal to finish the first quarter. But the Roughnecks extended their lead to 9-3 through the start of the second, with Curtis Dickson, Cook and Smith notching four in quick succession. The Warriors went on to add six to their tally, with Haiden Dickson adding one for the Calgary crew to put the Riggers up 10-9 going into halftime.
