Rivalry with the Calgary Roughnecks
The arrival of the Rush created another version of "The Battle Of Alberta". The Battle of Alberta is a term applied to the intense rivalry between the Canadian cities of Edmonton, the capital of the province of Alberta, and The head coach of the Edmonton Rush however, has come under fire by the Calgary Roughnecks. The Calgary Roughnecks are a member of the National Lacrosse League based in Calgary Alberta. The Rush took out ads in Calgary newspapers before their first meeting that the Rush would "Open a Can" on the Roughnecks.
This proved to backfire as the Roughnecks defeated the Rush in their first meeting.
The tactic continued though when the Rush were playing the Toronto Rock, but once again it proved to backfire as the Rock easily won. The Toronto Rock are a Lacrosse team in the National Lacrosse League (NLL
However, Calgary tried this tactic against Edmonton before the April 5, 2008 game by taking an ad in the Edmonton Sun saying that Edmonton was a "City of Losers" instead of a city of champions. The Edmonton Sun is a daily Newspaper published in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Just as it had for the Rush, the plan backfired as the Rush won 11-9.
