The Rush appeared to tire in the final stages of the game. Corey Small scored three of Vancouver’s four unanswered goals in the fourth quarter to lift the Stealth to the two goal win.

Small had an exceptional night for Vancouver with six goals and one assist. Mark Matthews had one goal and five assists for the Rush.

Coach Derek Keenan said he was impressed by the fan turnout.

“It was awesome,” he said. “I thought it was really good. I’m disappointed that we didn’t get a win for them.”

Super fan Harvey Ruffer drove from Calgary to watch the game. He described why he loves the sport. 

“You whack people left, right, and center. It’s fast paced, it’s constant hitting, constant action.”

Saskatchewan fell to 1 and 1 with the loss. The Rush will host the Colorado Mammoth on Saturday January 29th at Sask-Tel Centre.
