The El Paso Rhinos have almost methodically dominated their Mountain Division of the Western States Hockey League. They have clinched a playoff birth and will close out their final regular season homestand this weekend against the Phoenix Knights.

Things have been good to the El Paso Rhinos this season. The team is well-rested after an off week. This weekend, the always tough Boulder Bison are in El Paso to play the Rhinos. The two teams met earlier in the season, with the Bison winning two out of the three games.

Despite their 26-6 overall record and 11-point lead for first place in the Mountain Conference, El Paso Rhinos head coach Cory Herman is not satisfied. After winning two out of three games in Dallas, the Rhinos hope to continue their success this weekend when they host the second place Cheyenne Stampede for a key series at the Sierra Providence Events Center.

LAS VEGAS , NV – It was the most anticipated game of Day 3 at the Western States Shootout Tournament. The up-and-coming expansion Cheyenne Stampede faced off against the reigning Mid-West Division Champion El Paso Rhinos in a dual that was so good, it wouldn’t have been right if it didn’t go into overtime.
