I don't have much time right now, but just wanted to acknowledge the fact that the Corpus Christi IceRays are moving to the North American Hockey League, the same junior league that is putting a franchise in Amarillo.
Not all of the details have been confirmed, but Greg Rajan from the Corpus Christi Caller-Times has the scoop and will likely provide more info on his blog later.
I am in the middle of editing two sections while also dealing with a bunch of other work, so I can't really make calls about this right now, but Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees beat writer Brian Sandalow has some initial remarks from coaches and other league figures, including Terry Ruskowski, on his Twitter account.
UPDATE: You can read Sandalow's story on the situation here. This is what Coach Ruskowski had to say to him about it:
"It’s going to hurt both of us, Rio and us. It’s a situation where cost and travel is going to go up. The rivalry won’t be there. Now there’s only two in (South Texas) and scheduling-wise it’s going to be tougher to have people coming down here just to play two teams."
I will only be able to use a blurb about the situation in sport shorts for tomorrow's paper because the front page is already full of local stuff, but I'll try to follow up on everything ASAP.
