Rush Begin Offseason with Return of Weselowski and Completion of Future Trades

“Today is a big day for the team,” said Rush General Manager Tim Hill. “To bring back Riley, an All-Star and the CHL’s Most Outstanding Defenseman, is obviously huge for the team itself. However, even more important is the impact he has representing the Rush off the ice and in the Rapid City community. He’s the reigning ‘Man of the Year’ for a reason and these are the type of young men we want in this organization. At the same time, I’m very excited to bring David Solway and Justin Sawyer into the fold. Our goal this offseason is to make this team younger and tougher and these two players fulfill that need.”
