The San Antonio Rampage don’t drop the puck on the 2018-19 season for 87 days, so over the next 2 weeks or so, I will be taking you through a time warp of Rampage hockey. Using a very sophisticated formula I have developed all on my own (at the advice of Topher), I will be…

This weekend, the NHL held its annual amateur draft. The St. Louis Blues, the Rampage’s new NHL affiliate had six choices and added a little bit of everything to the mix. The next question fans of AHL teams who follow the draft is simple; How will this affect the Rampage? I am no prospects expert…
I’ve put together a list of all players who suited up for at least 10 games last season with the Rampage (or those newly signed to ELCs) and their current contract status or transaction news. I will update all summer as signings/trades happen. Due to the affiliation change, all players who are under contract with…

The boys–well two of them–at Running With the Herd are very much alive–unlike the dwindling playoff hopes of our favorite team–and we return after a long break to talk about the first leg of the 2018 Rodeo Road Trip. Injuries are piling up and the team has struggled through the first 8 games of the…
Season Summary After these three games the Rampage are officially in the “Very Bad Team” category as they are under 46% Corsi for the games I’ve been to.
