Our beloved Mudbugs are getting to spend the holidays with their families in a much-deserved Christmas break. Shreveport swept the Corpus Christi Ice Rays last weekend and moved into a tie for third place with the New Mexico Ice Wolves. The boys have one more road trip next weekend to finish out 2022 as they will make the return trip to Corpus Christi. Shreveport will then get to have a four-week homestand in January.
