ICE CHIPS: Trevor Cheek - Rampage Winger

The San Antonio Rampage defeated the Rockford IceHogs 5-2 on Friday night at BMO Harris Bank Center. A large portion of the Ram- page offense came from winger Trevor Cheek, who earned the First Star of the Game. Cheek tallied the primary assist on Maxim Noreau's goal in the second period, while registering his fourth Rampage goal of the season early in the third period. The Vancou- ver native began his third professional season with the Fort Wayne Komets, but has split time between the Rampage and their ECHL affiliate. In his 25 games logged with the Komets, and 34 appearanc- es with San Antonio, Cheek has collected 21 goals and 34 points, both career highs.
