Fort Collins, Colo. – The Colorado Ice (3-6) will host the River City Rage (3-6) for the first time this season on Saturday, May 17, for a 7 p.m. kickoff.  River City holds a 2-1 all-time series advantage after splitting two games last year.

The game is themed as Military Appreciation and will pay tribute to the American troops.  All current and former military personnel are invited and will receive $5 off their ticket price.  Military vehicles and equipment will also be on hand prior to the game.  The Rage are part of the East Division and have not faced the Ice since the first regular season game back on March 9, when they beat the Ice by a final score of 42-35.

This game wraps up a three home game series for the Ice.  They travel to Sioux City to face the Bandits on May 24 for a 7 p.m. CT/6 p.m. MT kickoff before facing the Outlaws in Billings the following weekend.
