Lepine, 22, appeared in only three games during his brief stint with Corpus Christi. The second-year blue liner had a goal and an assist in his season debut, finishing with those two points in three games played. Lepine spent last season in Corpus Christi, but was not active on the playoff roster. In the off-season, the rights of Jason Lepine, along with Tony Johnson and Todd Paul were dealt to the Wichita Thunder in return for forward Joe Blaznek. He attended training camp with the Thunder, but has spent the majority of the season with the Knoxville Ice Bears of the SPHL. In 11 games, Lepine tallied 2 goals and 7 assists. He plans to return to Knoxville for the conclusion of the season.

Last season, in 43 games with Corpus Christi, the Ontario-native scored 4 goals and tallied 10 assists. He completed 3 seasons in junior hockey with the Cornwall Colts of the CJAHL before joining the Rayz in the beginning of the 2006-2007 campaign. Lepine accounted for 48 goals and 96 assists in 160 games (just under one point per game).

The Rayz are proud to be celebrating a decade of hockey in South Texas. Individual game tickets are currently available. Get your Rayz tickets today at www.ticketmaster.com, at any Ticketmaster outlet or the American Bank Center. Rayz group discounts are also available.
