The Edmonton Rush were a professional box lacrosse franchise of the National Lacrosse League that represented Edmonton, Alberta for ten seasons, from 2006 to 2015. The league awarded the city a franchise in May 2005, and the club, owned by the businessman Bruce Urban, took its name in June 2005 after early reports had suggested it would be called the Speed. It played home games at Rexall Place and recorded its first win in February 2006 over the Calgary Roughnecks, beginning a Battle of Alberta rivalry that included a playoff series victory in 2012. In 2015 the Rush won the Champions Cup for the only time in franchise history, beating the Toronto Rock, and shortly afterward the owner moved the team to Saskatoon, where it plays as the Saskatchewan Rush.
