Get it? Because I’m talking about the Rush? Wanna get some Neil Peart all up in ya? Anyway, we’re all friends here, and as the old saying goes, if there’s one thing friends love, it’s slappin’ da bass (that one’s just for you, Samsonow). And if there’s another, it’s a lacrosse draft. Or something like that.
Yep, we’re all going to be on the edge of our internets today, as the National Lacrosse League (NLL) Entry draft gets underway. The event will be streaming on the NLL website, as the league’s 11 teams choose from the best up and coming lacrosse players out of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the Canadian junior lacrosse system (and if anyone knows anything about junior lacrosse in Canada, feel free to fill us in on how all that works).
The Rush have six picks on the way, their best being 12th overall, and the NLL Insider has a rundown of the top draft choices here; this year’s event is in Buffalo, and starts at 5 p.m.
Here’s the schedule of picks for the Rush:
And while we’re talking schedules, the Rush have also released their sked for the upcoming season. Tickets available through Ticketmaster, or get more details on the Rush website (if you’re into lacrosse, seriously, look at the team’s ticket options because you can get season tickets in the Golds for like $400).
I hope it goes well, because after last season I’m currently not planning on renewing my season tickets.
Last I’d heard, the Rush had somehow scored Brodie Merrill, the best player in the league…
You’re right, Derjis!
Maybe that will be enough for Eri to renew…
