Janine Hayward Martensville Messenger What a Christmas “Rush” The Calgary Roughnecks came to town for the Saskatchewan Rush’s Christmas Showdown on Friday, December 16th and there was not a lot of Christmas cheer spread between the two teams. The 12,379 fans in attendance were treated to another exciting finish as the Rush came from behind to steal the win from the Roughnecks. Calgary had a 5-1 lead after two quarters and it took until the eight minute mark of the fourth for the Rush to regain a lead. Robert Church tallied three goals as Mark Matthews and newcomer Adam Jones each found the net twice to help the Rush secure the 9-6 win. Tempers were rising and the game was not quite over as punches were flying by both sides at the end of the fourth, even the goaltenders got in on the action. They threw off their helmets and squared off at mid-field with only 31 seconds left in the game. The crowd went crazy as punches were thrown by both netminders. Rush goaltender Aaron Bold was the only goalie dressed for the game as their backup was ill. The team ran out the last remaining seconds without Bold to take their first win. Next home action for the Rush is January 21 when the Rochester Knighthawks come to SaskTel Centre. This is the 2017 NLL home opener for the Rush when the Team’s National Banner will be raised. Game time is 7:00pm. ABOVE: The goaltenders for both teams participated in the brawl during the Christmas Showdown on December 16th between Saskatchewan Rush and Calgary Roughnecks.
