Saskatchewan Rush Fan Dressed As Hulk Banned From Calgary Lacrosse Game

The Canadian Press, 23 Jan, 2018 12:01 PM

WARMAN, Sask. — A man who dresses up as the Incredible Hulk at Saskatchewan Rush lacrosse games says he's been banned from this weekend's game in Calgary against the Roughnecks.

Known as Rush Hulk, Kelvin Ooms has organized four busloads of fans as part of a road trip from Saskatchewan.

He says he's been told he cannot attend Saturday's National Lacross League game in his costume due to security and safety concerns.

The self-described superfan says he's worn a Hulk costume to games in Saskatchewan and to one in Calgary last April.

Ooms says there has never been a safety issue.

Saturday's game is also "Star Wars" night, so other fans are being encouraged to wear costumes.

No one from the Roughnecks has immediately returned calls for comment.
