River Kings first up for a month of challenges for Prince Rupert Rampage in January CIHL play


The Prince Rupert Rampage dig back into the ice tomorrow night as they make a return to CIHL action after more than a month off the ice owing to the schedule and the annual holiday break.

As we noted earlier this week, the return to play marks the start of a six week race for playoff positions in the league and despite the lengthy break, the Rampage have held off the charge currently in First Place in the CIHL West, just one point behind the Williams Lake Stampeders who rule the CIHL roost overall.

The good news for the Rhinos is that they have a few games in hand to keep their push strong for a first place finish overall. 

The situation facing the Terrace River Kings their visitors, on Saturday at the Jim Cicone Civic Centre is a bit different, the River Kings have played two more games than the Rampage, which makes every game a key one with little room for error towards their goals of top placement when February comes around.

As they do before every home game at the Jim, the Rampage have made the call to the PRMHA for their call up for the weekend, ready to welcome Anthony Anderson to the Rampage Room and his duties on the ice Saturday.
