When the buzzer sounded Sunday at the Edge Ice Center and the celebration for the Owensboro Rampage winning the KHSHL State Championship started, a familiar song rang out but with a twist that only the Rampage could add on that day.
“We are still the champions.”
While Queen made the song famous, the Owensboro Rampage were kings of Kentucky yet again as they beat top-seeded Northern Kentucky 4-1 en route to its second-straight championship.

Sunday marked the first time since 2000-01 that a team went back-to-back as it was the Rampage’s semifinal foe, the Trinity Shamrocks, that were the last to achieve the feat.
