Amarillo Bulls News Release

AMARILLO, TX - The Amarillo Bulls closed out a four game home stand in fine fashion with a sweep over the Corpus Christi IceRays. In back-to-back 7-1 and 4-0 decision, the Bulls limited the IceRays to just one power play and nothing even strength. The Bulls improved their record to 9-2-1, and sit just two points out of first place in the South Division, but with the second best winning percentage in the entire North American Hockey League. It's back on the road this weekend for the Bulls as they make their first trip to Hidalgo to face the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees on Friday at 7 pm and Saturday at 6:35 pm.
