Goaltender Cameron Dunkerley Signs on for Another Year
Saskatoon, SK – The Saskatchewan Rush are excited to announce the signing of goaltender, Cameron Dunkerley, to a 1-year contract.
“We are excited to have Dunk back again,” states associate general manager and head coach Jimmy Quinlan. “He is a tireless worker who does whatever he’s asked and it was great to see him get rewarded with a win to end the season last year. We are looking forward to him challenging for a spot in the crease this season.”
From Orangeville, ON, the 6-foot goaltender was drafted 42nd overall by the Rush in the 2019 NLL Entry Draft. Cameron was the first goalie to be drafted in 2019, being selected in the 3rd round. Making his NLL debut last season, Dunkerley stepped into the crease at SaskTel Centre against the San Diego Seals on April 23rd. The following week, on April 30th, he got his first NLL win under his belt in Fort Worth, TX against Panther City with a 13-9 victory. The 1999-born netminder finished the game with 40 saves, resulting in a 0.819 save percentage for the 2021-22 season.
Rush Sign Saskatchewan Transition Wyatt Haux to 1-Year Contract
“Wyatt Haux is a player who impressed us when we had him in camp a few years back,” says 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 acquired Haux 92nd overall in the 2020 NLL Entry Draft. The Estevan, SK product won gold with Canada at the World Junior Lacrosse Championships in both 2018 and 2019 and had the honour of wearing the ‘C’ on his jersey 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 three points (2G, 1A) in seven playoff games.
Wyatt spent the past three years at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology where he was a part of the men’s basketball program.
