San Antonio Rampage News Release

THIS WEEK'S GAMES

Monday, Dec. 29 vs. Milwaukee@ Bradley Center, 7:00 p.m.

San Antonio is 0-1-0-1 versus the Admirals this year. Milwaukee spoiled the Rampage home opener and took a shootout win early in November. They face a Rampage team that has won 9 of 11.

Thursday, Jan. 1 vs. Lake Erie @ AT&T Center, 3:00 p.m.

This is the first of four meetings with the Colorado Avalanche affili- ate. Lake Erie, from the Western Conference's North Division, returns to the AT&T Center for a January 21st rematch.

Friday, Jan. 2 vs Peoria @ Carver Arena, 7:00 p.m

San Antonio returns to Peoria, site of last weeks 3-1 Rampage win, their first over the Rivermen this season. Tonight is the third of eight meetings between the West Division rivals.

Saturday, Jan. 3 vs Quad City @ I Wireless Center, 7:05 p.m

The Rampage conclude their 3-in-3 series in Quad City. The West Division Rivals meet for the fifth time this year. The Flames lead the season series 3-1.

SHOTS FROM THE POINT 08-09

ROAD WARRIORS: San Antonio entered last week as the only AHL team winless on the road at 0-10-0-1. The Rampage shook that off winning on back- to-back nights in Houston (5-3) and Peoria (3-1).

WAKE ME UP WHEN DECEMBER ENDS: It's a long climb back but the Ram- page have turned things around in December. Not only have they set a fran- chise winning streak this month, but goalie Josh Tordjman tied his franchise winning streak and broke the franchise all-time wins mark. As a team, San Antonio is 9-2 in December.

PLEASE DON'T GO: The debut of Joel Perrault and return of David Spina has meant wonders on the ice. Both of their returns came at the beginning of De- cember and the results are hard to ignore. Perrault has played in all 11 games in December totaling 3 goals and 8 assists. Spina, who has played in 10 games after missing 17 due to injury, has added 3 goals and 6 assists.

ICE CHIPS: Jeff Hoggan

Team Captain and 7-year pro Jeff Hoggan says he likes to lead by example. He's tied for the team lead with 10 goals.

Hoggan, from Hope, British Columbia (pop. 7,000), signed as a free agent July 17, 2008. Originally inked by the Min- nesota Wild (NHL) out of Nebraska-Omaha, Hoggan won the 2003 Calder Cup with Houston in his rookie season.

Jeff is coming off his most successful individual campaign scoring 67 points for Providence last year.
