Just hours before the CHL trade deadline, the Corpus Christi IceRays made a trade and waived one player.

The Corpus Christi IceRays will return to the American Bank Center on Friday for Pink in the Rink presented by Andrew's Distributing against the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees. The first 500 fans will receive free throw blankets courtesy of Radiology & Imaging.
Jereme Tendler joins the IceRays after 36 games and 7 points (4 g, 3 a) in Tulsa this season. Tendler played collgiate hockey at American International College where he was teammates with Jeremy Leroux. In 126 collegiate games, Tendler had 49 goals, 38 assists and 87 points. The Center had brief stints in the IHL before making his way to the CHL. Matt Smyth leaves Corpus Christi after 76 games, 4 goals and 9 assists. This will be Smyth's second stretch in Tulsa.
