3-0 record could belong to the Rampage by Thanksgiving Day

With the Prince Rupert Rampage ready to take for two games in two nights,  the stage is set for a pretty good start to the 2018-19 season, with the hometown Rhinos within grasp of a 3-0 placement in the standings by the time they dig into their turkey dinners.

The Rampage are on the road tonight, bound for Terrace to help the River Kings open up their CiHL season at the Terrace Ice Arena, with the Rupert squad looking to pick up where they left off last weekend in Kitimat when they topped the Ice Demons 5-1 in the ice breaker for both teams.

The Kitimat game saw the offensive push benefit from some new faces, with Judd Repole making his mark in the line up with three assists on the night, defensively the Rhinos were strong as well, shutting down the Ice Demons for much of the second and third periods on the way to victory, with Keanu Wilson holding off the Kitimat snipers from the Rupert net.

For the moment, the CIHL banner belongs to Terrace.

The challenge tonight will be a tough one, going up against the defending CIHL champion River Kings who will be seeking to repeat their success of a year ago and make another run for the Coy Cup in the Spring.

Tonight's puck drop goes at 7PM, CityWest will be broadcasting the action back to Prince Rupert through their Community Channels of HD310 and SD10.
