Atlas Rush got to spend time with Fellow Dragon and Atlas Rush's Idol Mike Izzy @Mike Izzy . Rush has a very similar game to that of Mike Izzy and hopes to be just as dominant when he finally gets the call up to the big club. The Main difference in their game is that Mike Izzy is a two way forward with a solid physical game where as Rush has taken the power forward approach. Basically the difference comes down to where both players chose for their weakness.. For Mike Izzy it is his strength and for Atlas it is his passing ability. While Atlas Rush isn't as good defensively as Mike Izzy he is well on his way having won the Brandon Holmes trophy in the SMJHL in season 48 for best defensive forward. Izzy and Rush took an unorthodox approach when it came to training as you would hardly ever see them in a gym. They were often seen however in the beautiful rocky mountains climbing trees and wrestling bears. They spent a whole week out in the mountains with no contact and came back as Mountain men. If they can survive all the struggles of living out in the wilderness for a week there is nothing they cant handle on the ice. The first things Atlas and Mike did was cut down a tree with axes then carved hockey sticks out of the tree and made some nets with the left over wood. It was a life changing experience for Atlas getting to spend some quality time with his idol and he looks forward to training hard with Mike Izzy again out in the Wild!
