Tuesday, August 26, 2025 - Available on iHeartRadio
Hockey season is heating up in the Coastal Bend, and we sit down with Joey Erickson, the "Voice of the Corpus Christi Ice Rays," to talk about everything fans need to know for the upcoming season.
This Saturday's Free Preview: The countdown is on for the Ice Rays Red vs. Black Game this Saturday at the American Bank Center. Puck drops at 11 a.m. with free admission—your chance to check out the new squad, explore the kids' zone, and secure tickets for opening weekend. It's the perfect introduction for families who've never experienced live hockey.
Opening Weekend Details: We dive into the September 19th and 20th opening weekend festivities, including the can't-miss $1 beer night on the 19th and the free tailgate party on the 20th. Joey explains how the team is working to make hockey more accessible and family-friendly than ever before.
Growing the Game in South Texas: For newer fans, Joey breaks down what the Ice Rays are all about—playing in the NAHL, a Tier II junior league focused on developing players for college hockey and beyond. We discuss the unique challenge of growing hockey in South Texas, where ice is something you put in your sweet tea, not something you skate on.
Family-First Approach: Joey shares insights into the new Kids Zone and the team's strategy for attracting first-time families to games. From making the experience approachable for hockey newcomers to creating an atmosphere where parents feel comfortable bringing kids, the Ice Rays are building something special in the Coastal Bend.
Merchandise and More: We also touch on the team's brand-new online store at ShopIceRays.com, featuring expanded merchandise options and new logo variations for fans to represent their team year-round.
The Voice Behind the Calls: As the play-by-play announcer, Joey gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to bring the excitement of live hockey to radio listeners and how he helps translate the fast-paced action for audiences still learning the game.
This conversation captures the excitement building around Ice Rays hockey and provides everything you need to know to become part of the growing hockey community in South Texas. Whether you're a lifelong fan or have never seen a puck drop, this episode will get you ready for what promises to be an exciting season.
