GAME NOTES: April 12, 2025 vs. Utah Grizzlies

(RAPID CITY, S.D.)—The Rapid City Rush, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Calgary Flames, play the season finale against the Utah Grizzlies. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. MDT on Saturday at The Monument Ice Arena.

WATCHLISTEN

LAST TIME OUT
The Rapid City Rush fell to the Utah Grizzlies, 5-2, at The Monument Ice Arena last night. Utah opened the scoring fewer than four minutes in and did not lose the lead. Billy Constantinou scored in the first period for the Rush, as did Jonathan Yantsis in the third. Both Rapid City goals came within a minute of Utah goals. However, the Rush could not find an equalizer.

ONE STEP CLOSER
Ryan Wagner picked up his fourth assist of the series and 50th of the season, a secondary helper on Constantinou’s goal. Having become the first ECHL-era Rush player to pick up 50 assists in a season, the captain took one step closer to Alex Aleardi’s point record. Wagner now has 78 points on the season and needs two to pass Aleardi for the Rush record.

RADOMSKY HONORED
In a pregame ceremony, the Rush organization honored second-year goaltender Matt Radomsky as the 2025 recipient of the Blaine Jarvis Heart and Soul Award, the highest individual honor for a Rush player. Jarvis, a fan-favorite and member of the 2010 CHL championship team, tragically passed away in an accident in 2016. The award was created that year, with Radomsky being the ninth man to win it.

CONGRATS TO THE CHAMPS
On Youth Sports Night, the Rushmore Thunder Varsity hockey team got to spend a memorable night at the rink. The team—winners of the USA Hockey High School 2A Championship—was introduced one-by-one during starting lineups and got to take warmups with the Rush. Konrad Reeder, the coach of the varsity team, brought back his iconic ‘head-slide’ celebration for his introduction.

THE ROAD ENDS HERE
A topsy-turvy, yet memorable 17th Rush season comes to an end tonight. This season has featured a record-setting winning streak, one individual record (so far) falling for Ryan Wagner, and several athletes getting their opportunities to play at the next level.

ONE FINAL SEND-OFF
Rush fans will have the opportunity to say their last goodbyes to a special 2024-25 squad at the End-of-Season Party on Monday night at the arena. There will be autograph tables, silent auction items, and more.

The Rapid City Rush take on the Utah Grizzlies in the final home series of the regular season on April 9th, 11th, and 12th at The Monument Ice Arena.
