NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas (March 6)-From the ice to dice, the Texas Brahmas will begin their weekend full of hockey tonight against the Corpus Christi IceRays before exchanging their skates for suits for the NYTEX Casino Night Friday evening.

Fans in attendance to Friday's 7:05 PM Southeast divisional battle will be treated with $1 Coke night at NYTEX concessions as well as a heated encounter between the Brahmas and IceRays.
