Not a teammate for long, but a teammate none-the-less. Gareth Rush's very short career was shrouded in controversy and anguish for every team he touched. Drafted to Colorado and a rare hold-out, Rush was moved to St. Louis. After his one season in St. Louis Gareth went undrafted to the SHL and ended up going AWOL. St. Louis authorities and teammates searched for Rush for 4 months as the season began, and St. Louis was without one of its top 9 forwards. Despite his personality he was still important to the Scarecrows.

Rush was found 8 months after disappearing in a Kentucky gas station, where authorities arrested him for tax fraud and the Scarecrows subsequently terminated his contract. Years later, Rush now works at the local Waffle House in Bardstown, Kentucky, after getting released from prison after a 6 month term. His shot at an SHL career is over, and everything we know about him to this day is gone with the wind. All we know is he wasn't above taking everything down with him
