The Rush joined the UFA in the 2013 season when it was originally branded as the American Ultimate Disc League – becoming the first Canadian team to join the league. They went undefeated that year, and continued their streak into the playoffs to take home the 2013 UFA Championship in their introductory season.
The Rush franchise has been the model of consistency. With five consecutive East Division titles, three appearances in League Championship Finals, and one UFA title in 2013, fans have come to expect to seeing this team excel on and off the field.[3]
Robert Lloyd is the chairman of the Rush. For the 2023 season, their head coach is Adrian Yearwood. Their assistant coaches are Micheal Kukucska and Rob Jankowski.
