FACE-OFF AGAINST KIDS CANCER - March 17

The Rampage will host their final Face-Off Against Kids Cancer event following the team's game on Sun- day. Throughout the season, the Rampage players have established bonds with their buddies through several activities in the San Antonio community, in- cluding a pizza and board game party, a trip to Funtastic Playland and watching a live performance of Rapunzel at the Magik Theatre.

PUCKS & PAWS: The Rampage welcomed more than 300 dogs for the club's sixth annual Pucks & Paws game on Sunday. For every dog ticket sold, $5 was donated to the Alamo Area Partners for Animal Welfare (AAPAW).

ANOTHER LENGTHY SHOOTOUT: Friday's marathon 12-round shootout was the longest in Rampage franchise history, eclipsing the 11-round shootout that occurred earlier this season on Nov. 24 against Abbotsford. San Antonio has now won three-straight shootouts after dropping their first four of the season.

BARLOW'S BACK: The Rampage signed forward Evan Barlow to a professional tryout contract on Thursday. Barlow played in 57 games for the Rampage last season and scored 30 points (10 goals, 20 assists).

POWER PLAY: The Rampage have tallied a power-play goal in seven of their last nine games, going 9-for-41 in that span with the man advantage.

ICE CHIPS: Zach Miskovic - Defenseman

Since being acquired via trade from the Chicago Wolves on Feb. 14, Zach Miskovic has become one of the Rampage's most reliable de- fenseman. Miskovic owns a plus-7 rating in his last six games for the Silver and Black and tallied his first multi-point game (one goal, one assist) in San Antonio's 5-4 shootout win over Texas on Friday. The River Forrest, Ill., native followed suit on Sunday by recording an assist on San Antonio's second goal of the game. In all, Miskovic has recorded seven points (two goals, five assists) in nine games with the Rampage.
