Returning the program to championship contender status is the goal of the Saskatchewan Rush in 2024-25, opening training camp with a record 37-man roster.
WATCH: A record number of camp invitees have hit the floor for Saskatchewan Rush training camp in Saskatoon, the first stage in the team's bid to end a lengthy playoff drought. NLL training camps opened across North America on Friday and in Saskatoon, the Rush hit the floor with 37 players on the floor.
After falling one goal short of clinching a playoff spot in their final game last April, the Rush are back and are now preparing for their season opener at the end of November. Taking part in his first session in a Rush jersey on Friday was free agent splash Austin Shanks, who signed a two-year contract with Saskatchewan this summer after putting up 85 points in 17 games with the Halifax Thunderbirds last year.Shanks, expected to be a key difference maker on the right side of the floor, said it was a productive first day getting to meet his new teammates.
“After the last one in Langley I didn’t know if there would be another opportunity to do it,” Church said. “It was an honour to represent the country and get a gold, and play with such a great group of players in some of the league’s best.”The Rush will also be running back their tandem of Keenan and Quinlan behind the bench, as the pair will continue to share head coaching duties this winter.
