Rush look to win back-to-back championships
After finishing the regular season with a dominant 13-5 record, receiving a quarter-final bye and making easy work of the Calgary Roughnecks, the Saskatchewan Rush National Lacrosse League (NLL) team has an opportunity to win back-to-back championships this weekend.
Coming off a hard fought 11-9 win in game one against the Buffalo Bandits, the Rush can sweep the best-of-three series with games shifting to the Sasktel Centre on Saturday, June 4.
Formerly the Edmonton Rush, in their inaugural season as the Saskatchewan Rush, the team has seen sold out crowds of over 15,000 people including the May 28 game which saw 15,200 – the largest crowd ever for any Sasktel Centre event.
Boasting one of the top goaltenders in the league with ‘Stone Cold’ Aaron Bold, as well as top-scorers Mark Mathews and Robert Church and two-time defender of the year Robert Dilks, the Rush has been an exciting team to watch.
