Corpus Christi IceRays News Release


Corpus Christi- At a press conference today, W.D. Frank, owner of WD Sports, the parent company of the Corpus Christi Central Hockey League franchise, announced that effective immediately the team has changed its name to the "Rayz" and will have a new visible logo.

"From a business standpoint, we felt that it was in the best interest of the organization to separate ourselves from the past, and that includes both the name and logo," said Frank. "We have to start here as a new business." The new logo is red, white, and blue bearing the name "CORPUS CHRISTI RAYZ HOCKEY" with a stingray underneath the word "RAYZ" decorated as the Texas state flag. The logo combines the spirit of Rayz hockey with the pride of Texas.

Frank indicated that for the time being, the team will continue wearing the jerseys bearing the old logo, and that there will be a gradual transition from the old look to the new one.

The Rayz host the defending President Cup Champions Memphis RiverKings this Friday at Memorial Coliseum at 7:05PM.
