In exactly 2 weeks time we will become the first National League in Australia to play 3 x 20 minute stop time periods. Can’t wait!
When you talk about amazing Aussie players being great on and off the ice #18 from @adelaide_rush Candice Mitchell is one of the first players most people think of. She has both captained and represented Australia and has been there through the highs and lows for Adelaide over many years. We are so thrilled to see her back in the Rush line up for AW season 2918/19!
