FEAR THE STING

Corpus Christi has found plenty of success against New Mexico in the organizations history since the Ice Wolves joined the NAHL in 2019-20. The IceRays have a 22-15-7 all-time record in 44 games versus New Mexico including winning the last six games at home. New Mexico has dropped four of the six meetings this year, with the IceRays having the upper hand on special teams going 4-for-13 on the man-advantage opposed to New Mexico being 1-for-9.

FAMILIER FACES

With the trade deadline and roster freeze coming this afternoon, the IceRays are putting the finishing touches on their roster. Two moves this week include the returns of forwards Colin Watson and Cooper Conway.

Watson was acquired from the Rochester Jr. Americans where he recorded three points in 13 games out east. He accumulated 21 points in 51 games last season with the Corpus Christi while adding a physical presence at 6-foot-4, 220-pounds.

Conway returns from the Dubuque Fighting Saints in the USHL where he posted 21 points in 32 games. The Minnesota native put up big numbers with the IceRays last season putting up 55 points in 56 games while leading the team in assists.
