Adopt A Player
Through the Adopt-A-Player program fans have the chance to 'adopt' a Rush player and receive special recognition throughout the entire 2011-12 season. The adopting families will have their name embroidered on a patch that will be donned on the adopted player's jersey for the remainder of the season, and that family will also receive that player's jersey at the end of the year. The adoption auction was held Saturday, October 29th against the Dayton Gems with a portion of the proceeds from the auction going to the Rush Foundation.
The adopting families will have a chance to meet their player in the locker room after one home game, and will be recognized at another game at center ice with their player during the pre-game ceremonies. This seasons adopting families are:
