Edmonton Rush of the NLL moving to Sask

http://metronews.ca/news/edmonton/14...-saskatchewan/

Sad really, the Rush just won the NLL's Champions Cup a couple of months ago and finally started showing that the fanbase had potential and this happens. At the same time though, it's not surprising, Bruce Urban (Owner) was complaining to the media during the playoffs that the City was doing nothing to help them secure a lease in Edmonton and was none to happy about the Katz Group having full power over at the new Rogers Place. What bothers me the most is that the Katz Group has looked into buying the Rush multiple times at offers ranging from $2 million - $1, while the $1 is insulting and while $2 million is a little undervalued (Expansion fees in the NLL are around $3 million and the Rochester Knighthawks were sold to Curt Styres for $5.575 million), I always hoped that something could have been worked out.

Sounds as though the Katz Group are trying to become the Flames LP and MLSE of Edmonton, as they currently own the WHL Oil Kings and NHL Oilers, along with looking into buying the Rush and have even made inquires about the Eskimos. Hopefully the Katz Group can speak with the NLL and bring in an expansion franchise back to Edmonton. Lacrosse is such a great game, it's actually starting to grow again here in Canada and for a time was growing rapidly (% wise) in the U.S.A.

Ugh.
Rather sad that it came to this.

I guess the good news is that they are staying in Canada, and hopefully Saskatchewan residents will embrace this team as they have the Roughriders.
The best part for potential Saskatchewan fans is that the Rush is a young talented team that may dominate the NLL West division for several years and possibly win some more championships soon.
(Or more hopefully, lose those championships to my Toronto Rock!)

WOW this SUCKS really. Well will Sask fans get behind their second pro sports franchise.
Tell you what lacrosse is HUGE in Peterborough with the Lakers getting over 3000 for every game. They get more for one game then other teams draw for a whole year. As a Rock fan I'm cheering for a bunch of Lakers I hate during the NLL season. Few Rock on the Lakers.

Hopefully there can be some expansion in the NLL back to Edmonton .

I have to admit, the Rush logo in Saskatchewan green looks better than the Edmonton Rush version.

Hate the Rush even more now!!!! Screw the Saskabush Rush.
