SASKATOON - An Estevan lacrosse product has committed to play with the Saskatchewan Rush of the National Lacrosse League.
The Rush announced Wednesday they had signed transition player Wyatt Haux to a one-year contract.
"Wyatt Haux is a player who impressed us when we had him in camp a few years back," said associate general manager and head coach Jimmy Quinlan. "He’s a big athletic body and we are curious to see how he’s developed over that time."
The Rush selected Haux 92nd overall in the 2019 NLL Entry Draft. The Estevan athlete won gold with Canada at the World Junior Lacrosse Championships in both 2018 and 2019, and had the honour of being the captain in 2019.
Standing at 6-foot-4, Haux joined the Sask Swat program in 2019 and then went on to play Senior B with the Calgary Mountaineers this past summer. Haux notched two goals in two regular season games and an additional two goals and an assist in seven playoff games.
Haux spent the past three years at the Â鶹ÊÓƵern Alberta Institute of Technology where he was a part of the men’s basketball program.
The Rush also announced the signing of goaltender Cameron Dunkerley to a one-year contract.
