IceRays Hit the Road for Preseason Series against Mudbugs

Corpus Christi IceRays News Release


CORPUS CHRISTI, TX - The Corpus Christi IceRays of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) are heading north to face a familiar foe, taking on the Shreveport Mudbugs in a three-game preseason series on September 4, 5, and 6 at George's Pond at Hirsch Coliseum in Shreveport, Louisiana. Puck drops at 7:11 PM each night.

With the regular season fast approaching, this series marks the final opportunity for players to prove they belong on the 2025-26 IceRays roster. Training Camp began with 41 players, but after several rounds of cuts, only 30 players remain-each vying for a spot on the final 23-man roster. The upcoming three preseason games in Shreveport will give the coaching staff their first real look at how these players peform against outside competition.

"Th ose decisions are never easy, said Head Coach Kevin St. Jacques. "Every guy here has worked hard, but at the end of the day, we have to build the best roster possible. These upcoming preseason games are absolutely critical-this is where players show us not just what they can do, but how they fit into our system and culture."

The preseason showdown also reignites a competitive rivalry between the IceRays and Mudbugs. Last spring, the IceRays swept Shreveport in a best-of-five playoff series, advancing to the South Division Final for only the second time in franchise history.
