San Antonio Rampage News Release


THIS WEEK'S GAME

Saturday, Oct. 8 vs. Chicago Wolves

AT&T Center, 7 p.m.

The Rampage will host their season opener this Saturday against the Chicago Wolves. Last year, they posted a 4-2 record against the Wolves with three of those victories coming at home.

OPENING NIGHT-Oct. 8: The Rampage open their 10th Anniversary season this Sat- urday as they take on the Chicago Wolves at 7 p.m. The first 5,000 fans through the AT&T Center doors will receive a Rampage sched- ule magnet. Fans will have an opportunity to meet the 2011-12 Rampage team and get autographs immediately after the game in the Bud Light Courtyard.

FAMILIAR FACES: With the affiliation change this offseason, only two players from last year's squad will wear the Rampage uniform, center Bracken Kearns and defenseman Nolan Yonkman. In addition, forward Bill Thomas joins the Rampage for his second stint with the team. He was a member of the Ram- page from 2006 to 2008.

SIMPLY THE BEST: ESPN named the Florida Panthers' prospects No. 1 in their NHL organizational rankings based on the potential of each team's minor league prospects. Many of the Panthers' top prospects will develop in San Antonio this season.

OPENING ACT: The Rampage open the season at home this Saturday as they host the Wolves at 7 p.m. They are 7-2 in home openers and 6-3 in sea- son openers.

PERFECT PRESEASON: The Rampage won back-to-back preseason games against rival Texas Stars with a 4-0 victory on Friday and a 3-2 overtime win on Saturday.
