The twin destinations hopefully spots where the Rampage can build on their 5-2 record so far this season.
The Saturday game in Quesnel, makes for an opportunity to renew acquaintances with the Kangaroos who made quick work of the visiting Rhinos just a month ago as part of their Cariboo road trip.
That as the Quesnel side topping Prince Rupert 9-3, marking their only win of the season so far.
Players for the Rampage to key in on with Quensel include Sam Byron who leads the team with eight points this season, along with Brett Mero and Brody Ward Dyck who both have seven.
The Sunday trip into Vanderhoof marks Prince Rupert's first stop of the year there, and they will be taking on a hard skating and physical Nechako North Star squad which currently sits just six points behind the league leading Williams Lake Stampeders, the Rampage only four behind the pace setters in the CHIL Standings.
The last time the two teams met up was on October 28th when the North Stars came to town, they were doubled up on the scoreboard 4-2 that night by the home side.
The Nechako lineup is led by Landon Kitchen who currently tops their scoring listings at 7 points, five of his team mates are all percolating just below his pace.
The Rampage offensive push so far has come from Judd Repole and Tyler Ostrom who are marked in the scoring tables of the top fifteen this season so far.
Of the two games the more physical one likely comes on Sunday, Quesnel has amassed 185 penalty minutes, the North Stars however are tied with Kitimat for the most snarly of teams with 230 minutes of penalty time served heading into this weekend.
