The Saskatchewan Rush reached out to the West Coast with the third overall pick in the National Lacrosse League draft on Monday.
The defending NLL champions chose New Westminster Salmonbellies’ Michael Messenger with the third selection of the NLL Draft.
As a rookie with the Western Lacrosse Association’s Bellies this past summer, Messenger tallied four goals and three assists over eight regular season games upon finishing his fourth year at Limestone College.
The 6-foot-2 forward also dominated in the faceoff circle, posting a 66-for-96 record in less than half a season in New West.
