New Faces: I feel that it’s safe to say that the biggest addition to the 2017 Saskatchewan Rush will be lefty all-star Adam Jones, in to replace Zack Greer and to potentially lead them to a three-peat. One of the biggest names in the game is joining the most electric team in the NLL, inside the rowdiest barn…it’s a recipe for something serious! But pushing Jonesy for the spotlight is Coach Keenan’s own son, and first overall draft pick, Ryan Keenan alongside Mike Messenger, the fourth overall pick, out of Coquitlam. Both rookies had incredible NCAA careers with smaller programs, Keenan with Quinnipiac and Messenger at Limestone, but where they really shine is inside the box.

There’s not much to tweak on a team that’s pulled back-to-back titles, but with contracts, age and chemistry always a looming issue, Urban and co. parted ways with Loewen, Greer, Lintz and Davis to make a little room for young talent and refine what has been already finding great success.
