My Stars’ losing skid finally ended last night
Last night, my Stars finally snapped their frustrating four-game skid which also kicked us out of first place in the division! OK, maybe not. I just checked the AHL site. Holy buckets, the Admirals have been on a winning tear…14 … Continue reading
My Stars are doing pretty well for 2023-24 season
Last night we lost but I’m not really too worried. We remain in first place and it was only the Chicago Wolves who are having a crap season. The officiating was better than when we were playing the Rockford Icehogs. … Continue reading
My Stars lose their 2023 opener
But it’s still better than no hockey is the old cliché. At least we only lost by one despite being behind or tied the whole time. It’s going to be a rough season too. Most of the great players who … Continue reading
My Stars lock up first place!
Last night, my Stars of the AHL (boooo Dallas!) secured first in the Central Division! We have a finale tonight against the Wild (or Mild given it’s Iowa) so we won’t know who we will be facing in the playoffs … Continue reading
AHL Teams have been busy during the Pandemic
Since the minor leagues don’t have that much money on the line, they didn’t bother to finish out their seasons. Kind of sucked! I think my Stars would’ve pulled through in the clutch to be playoff contenders for their fourth … Continue reading

The Rampage are moving to the Vegas area
After 18 seasons in San Antonio, my team’s I-35 rival for 11 seasons will be wrapping it up this Spring and then joining their new NHL parent, the Golden Showers…I mean Knights. It’s interesting to have a team in Sin … Continue reading
My turn to drop the ceremonial puck!!!
This season may be rather up and down compared to previous ones but it’s special because it marks my Stars’ tenth season in Austin and the AHL. A decade in one spot is pretty tough to pull off in a … Continue reading
Congratulations (belated) to Greg Rallo!
It’s very old news to my fellow Stars fans but I still wanted to get it out there regarding Greg Rallo, one of the original Stars to play in our inaugural season. He also came back two more times although … Continue reading
Congratulations to Travis Morin on scoring 500 points!
Travis provided an assist to Curtis McKenzie’s second goal of the evening and became the 92nd player in AHL history to achieve the milestone of 500 points. This also makes him the first member of our Stars to do this. … Continue reading
A place of honor for my butt
A perk for being a season-ticket holder is getting a nameplate on the seat I’ve had with our hockey team for seven of their nine seasons. First season, I was in the seat behind this one and last season, we … Continue reading
Goodbye Panthers, Hello Coyotes
I got caught flat-footed on this news but I hadn’t been checking out the official AHL web site nor the Rampage’s or Coyotes’ lately. Hey, the season ended with the Philly Phantoms sweeping the Chicago Wolves which is why my … Continue reading
