To make room for the additions, Corpus Christi released goaltender Ethan Peterson and forward Azzaro Tinling.
"I think we are close to getting the pieces that we need to be very successful," said head coach Ryan Cruthers. "I like the way that this group is trending. I like how close they are becoming on and off the ice. It is a great group to be around."
Next up for the IceRays, who are in the midst of a season-long 13-game homestand, are visits from both Alaskan teams in the NAHL, starting with the Fairbanks Ice Dogs on Friday, Oct. 19 and Saturday, Oct. 20.
