The time for talk is over for the Saskatchewan Rush, embarking on a series they’ve spent years envisioning.

They’ll sprint onto the floor in New York State on Friday night to kick off the 2025 National Lacrosse League Cup Finals against the Buffalo Bandits.

“(Buffalo’s) been there, this is their fifth year in a row,” said Rush defenceman Jerrett Smith. “But I think we 100 per cent have the group to do what it takes here and I think it’s our time.”

The Rush have made the NLL Finals for the fourth time since the franchise relocated from Edmonton to Saskatoon in 2015, but will be making their first appearance in the series since winning it all back in 2018.

Four members of the Rush were on that team including Robert Church, Ryan Keenan, Mike Messenger and Matt Hossack, but now this new iteration of the Rush will get the chance to write a new championship chapter in the franchise’s history.
