The Edmonton Rush are a lacrosse team based in Edmonton playing in the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The 2012 season was the 7th in franchise history. The Rush had a tough regular season, starting 2-7 before gaining momentum in the second half. They finished 6-10 but made the playoffs. In the playoffs, however, everything changed as the Rush beat both the Calgary Roughnecks and Minnesota Swarm in dominating performances, before losing to the Rochester Knighthawks 9-6 in the championship game.
The Rush made a number of significant moves in the off-season, most notably trading captain Brodie Merrill, Dean Hill, and Mike McLellan to Philadelphia for Athan Iannucci, Alex Turner, and Brodie McDonald as well as first-round draft picks in three future drafts. They also picked up Kyle Rubisch and Ryan Dilks from the Boston Blazers dispersal draft, and Shawn Williams, Aaron Wilson, Chris Corbeil, Aaron Bold, and Kevin Croswell in other trades. This is also the first out 6 consecutive seasons in the playoffs.
