The National Lacrosse League has set an April start date for its 35th season in hopes that it will provide enough time to successfully restart on schedule.

The NLL said Wednesday it is targeting the weekend of April 9-11 to begin play during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Goalie Laine Hruska, of Warman, Sask., has signed a two-year contract with the NLL’s Georgia Swarm.

The Saskatchewan Rush addressed both their present and future with their seven selections in the 2020 National Lacrosse League draft.

Saskatchewan SWAT alum Laine Hruska was drafted 13th overall by the Georgia Swarm in the 2020 NLL Entry Draft on Sept. 17.

Former Saskatchewan SWAT goaltender Laine Hruska is expected to be the province's highest-ever selection in the 2020 National Lacrosse League entry draft.

NLL’s all-time leader in coaching wins, Derek Keenan, said he’s stepping down as the bench boss of the Saskatchewan Rush.

The Saskatchewan Rush have dealt forward Ben McIntosh and a trio of draft picks to the Philadelphia Wings in exchange for forward Josh Currier and two first-round picks.

Pending free agents Kyle Rubisch and Chris Corbeil have agreed to new one-year deals with the Saskatchewan Rush.

The National Lacrosse League has officially cancelled its 2020 playoffs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and is shifting its focus to planning for next season.
