Mahshie, 27, recorded 17 points (6g+11a) in 45 games with the Wheeling Nailers last season. The Rush acquired the 6-foot-3, 215-pound forward on June 20th to complete the future considerations portion of the March 13th trade which also sent Eric Parker and Cole Tymkin to Rapid City.
“I am super excited to be joining such a great organization,” said Mahshie. “I’m looking forward to bringing my compete and work ethic each night to help this team succeed and get to the playoffs. Can’t wait to get started and meet you guys in October!”
