“Rush season ticket holders can expect some very exciting things from this team in the upcoming season and for years to come.”

Rush officials said season ticket holders are primarily Saskatoon-based, however a spike in sales is largely due to fans in Regina, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Swift Current, Lloydminister, Humboldt and North Battleford.

The 2017-18 NLL regular season kicks off this weekend, while the Rush season begins on Dec. 16 in Toronto when they face the Rock.

Saskatchewan’s home opener is on Dec. 23 against the New England Black Wolves.
