American Bank Center – Corpus Christi, TX
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2013 – 7:05PM
TONIGHT’S GAME … For the first time since the IceRays joined the North American Hockey League, the Brahmas return to the American Bank Center as a pair of 1-4-1 squads take the ice for a pair of games. The home opener comes after six games on the road have already been played for Corpus Christi. This is a big weekend for players as the IceRays roster still needs to be trimmed down. The Brahmas had tough competition at the Showcase after splitting with Rio Grande Valley, they dropped three straight games to Austin, Port Huron, and Fairbanks.
