It’s a much earlier start for the Saskatchewan Rush in the 2018 season, so early it will still be 2017.
On Dec. 16, the Rush will be in Toronto to face the Rock in the earliest start to a season in team history.
“The early start eliminated one back-to-back weekend for us and that’s a positive,” head coach and general manager Derek Keenan said.
The home opener goes Dec. 23 at SaskTel Centre against the New England Black Wolves. That game marks the return of star goalie Aaron Bold who was traded by the Rush this summer.
