*Denotes former All-Star
The Rage will open the CHL campaign on the road this Friday, Oct. 19, against the Odessa Jackalopes with eight former All-Stars from either the CHL or the United Hockey League in the line-up.
The roster features 16 Canadians, half of which hail from the province of Alberta, and three Americans: Dunbar (Duluth, Minn.), Dunleavy (Littleton, Colo.), and Jami Yoder (Harrisburg, Pa.).
Only four players return from last season's club that failed to reach the President's Cup playoffs: Dunleavy, Plume, Rosychuk, and Weisgerber.
And while some of the players may beg to differ, there is only one scratch golfer that made the final cut, player/assistant coach Cullaton, who owns his PGA Card.
