With the first games of the Central Hockey League season a month out, the Rush have signed a trio of defensemen to bring the club's pre-season roster to 16.  The Rush grabbed veterans Gio Flamminio and Corey Laurysen, who were a part of last year's championship team.  Flamminio added 7 points to the team's offensive output last season.Laurysen joined the club in time for the Rush's playoff run.  The team also signed Scott Kalinchuk as part of a trade last year with the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs.  Kalinchuk will start the year attending training camp with the Rockford IceHogs of the A-H-L.
