The beloved Rampage entered the 2016-17 season with mostly new players and a totally new head coach and system to learn. The beginning of the year was littered with struggles integrating new pros, injuries and turning aspects of play from thinking to instinct. Lately, we’ve seen a boost in production and a slight rise in the standings which I expect to continue.
A key aspect to this boost has been the improvement in play from the younger players on the team. The Avs threw a bunch of money at the Rampage in various ways this summer. Better and more expensive veteran players, a new training facility, a new coach.
