RUSH TO HONOUR NIPAWIN HAWKS BEFORE WEST FINAL
Saskatoon, SK – The Saskatchewan Rush will welcome and honour the Nipawin Hawks at Sunday’s NLL Western Final. Players, coaches, and staff of the team will be welcomed onto Co-op Field at SaskTel Centre for a pre-game ceremonial ball-drop.

“We look forward to recognizing the Nipawin Hawks for a tremendous season of hockey. The Hawks organization has represented the entire province incredibly as SJHL Champions, playing for all of Saskatchewan in the Anavet Cup. They have made us very proud!” – Saskatchewan Rush Owner, Bruce Urban
SJHL Commissioner Bill Chow will also be in attendance, accompanying the Hawks onto Co-op Field at SaskTel Centre to participate in the ceremonial ball-drop.
