‘Incredibly tough:’ Sask. Rush president leaves team amid brother’s cancer battle
Saskatchewan Rush President Lee Genier has made the difficult decision to leave the team to support his family.
Genier told 650 CKOM in an interview Tuesday he’ll be moving back to Calgary to be with his brother, who is fighting a rare form of throat cancer.
“Running a sports team is no small task,” he said. “And trying to deal with someone that you love very much, that is that close to you, and not be with them has been incredibly tough.”
He said his brother has been fighting the diagnosis for a year, and it’s been increasingly difficult.
