Anyway, I wonder if Saskatoon will end up becoming the NLL's number one hotbed?[/QUOTE}

One could make the argument that it already is.

I'd read (unconfirmed) last week that the Rush sold more merchandise this year than the rest of the NLL teams combined. High sales are to be expected for a new franchise, but typically not to that level. Participation in local lacrosse leagues also jumped 30% from last year. Given the lack of pro competition in the market, demand for tickets & merchandise, I can easily see the Rush becoming the Roughriders of the NLL
