Kangaroos come to town looking to slow down red hot Rampage

After a two week break, the Prince Rupert Rampage will be looking to pick up their winning ways where they left off in early October.

Saturday night, the Rhinos take to the ice with their 3-0 record as the Quesnel Kangaroos in town to try to skate away from the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre  having delivered the first loss of the year for the Rhinos.

The Rampage head into Saturday night ready to showcase a potent offensive punch, with Prince Rupert featuring 24 goals in the For column, while holding the opposition so far to a league leading 12 goals.

The efforts so far giving the Rampage a share of first place with the Williams Lake Stampeders.

Part of that early season success has come through the play making skills of Judd Repole, who will be back in a Rampage uniform after a quick visit to Osoyoos.

As we outlined on the blog on Tuesday, the latest Rampage player was honoured by his former Junior Club the Osoyoos Coyotes with a sweater retirement ceremony last weekend in the southern Okanagan City.

Repole and Rampage captain Jared Meers are representing Prince Rupert well in the scoring leader chart to the season so far, with both placing in the top ten as the league heads into week four of its 2018-19 season.



Quesnel comes to town looking for the prospect of a sweep of their North coast swing, with the Kangaroos heading for Kitimat on Sunday to bring their travels to an end for this week.

As they did for Game one of the year, the Rhino's have called up a young PRMHA player for duty on Saturday night, with Phoenix Mackereth to take to the ice at game time.



Puck drop at the Jim on Saturday night is set for 7PM
