Before the season came to a screeching halt, the biggest surprise and shock of the year was the loss of the San Antonio Rampage in the AHL. The Rampage may have already played their last game in the league if the suspension turns into a cancellation. Texas has counted on the Rampage for eleven seasons to be an easy roadtrip down I-35 for up to fourteen games in a season where the Stars could play that night and still wake up in their own beds the next morning.
Now, they're on an island alone.
With the loss of the OKC Barons, Houston Aeros and Rampage, Texas sits all alone in the state.
