December 16, 2013 - National Lacrosse League (NLL)
Edmonton Rush News Release


Edmonton, AB - General Manager and Head Coach Derek announced today the 20 player roster for the 2014 NLL Regular Season.

"We had real hard decisions, as I said to the team after our pre-season game against Buffalo, at this stage every remaining player deserves to be on a NLL roster, but we keep just 20." states Keenan.

"I think we have solid players in all areas and some versatility within the group as well and that's important with decreased roster size."
