Saskatchewan Rush News Release
SASKATOON, SK - The greatest goal scorer in Rush history is staying in green.
Today, GM Derek Keenan announced that Robert Church has signed a one-year extension, taking him through the 2024/2025 season.
"Robert Church is a cornerstone of the Rush offence and the entire team. This signing illustrates Robert's long term commitment to the Rush organization. He's never wanted to play anywhere else and that sentiment is mutual," said Keenan. "I personally would like to thank Robert and our ownership for that continued commitment! We are excited about the push to the playoffs and beyond."
Church, who started his career with the Rush in 2014, has scored 371 goals in his career, the most in team history.
Sitting on 633 points in a Saskatchewan Rush uniform, the B.C. product is just 54 points away from becoming the franchise's all-time points leader as well.
Throughout his 10 seasons in the National Lacrosse League, Church has won three league championships.
The deal is pending league approval.
Saturday night, the Saskatchewan Rush will host the New York Riptide at SaskTel Centre. Faceoff is at 7:30PM.
