The Corpus Christi IceRays chase the North American Hockey League title with powerful slapshots and agile bladework. Relax in Gold-level seats as scrappy puck battles and dramatic ice-trout catches unfold before your eyes. With six assists and 12 goals over 26 games, forward Eric Purcell leads the team’s scoring stats this season. Anthony Stolarz, meanwhile, defends the goal with gusto, presiding over nine victories so far and standing up for the net when it stayed out past its curfew.

The ice-slicing action takes place in the 8,000-seat American Bank Center, which has set out to reduce its carbon footprint with a number of green upgrades. A comprehensive recycling plan is in the works, and staffers are lining the complex with compact fluorescent lights to save energy and keep away mogwai lurking around the arena.
