HEY NOW... YOU'RE AN ALL-STAR: Rampage defenseman Jay Bouwmeester will represent San Antonio and his home country of Canada for the 2004-05 Dodge AHL All-Star game in Manchester, NH on February, 14. Bouwmeester will play for Team Canada and is the fourth Rampage player to be selected, joining defenseman Filip Novak (PlanetUSA, 2003), left wing Eric Beaudoin (Team Canada, 2004) and right wing Dennis Shivdki (PlanetUSA, 2004). Beaudoin was selected but did not play as he was unavailable due to recall to the NHL's Florida Panthers.

ROAD WARRIORS: The Rampage embarked on a 29-day, 12-game, nine-city, 13,500-mile road trip on Jan. 29 in Cincinnati.

In the past two February road trips the Rampage went 7-4-1 in 2002-03 and 4-8-0 in 2003-04, while currently sitting 3-3-0-0 this season.
