Once the other team has left the ice all the fans stick around to watch a Manhattan Rage tradition: the victory charge. Players line up on opposing blue lines and hold their sticks straight out towards each other and charge at each other, much like a jousting competition. The three stars are chosen by who wins this jousting competition, with the first star being chosen by fan reaction, colosseum style. The coaches aren't too happy about this routine, as the team has gotten very competitive with this contest and there are quite a few telltale bruises showing up on Manhattan Rage players. The competition seems to be good for morale though, as the Rage have been on a pretty strong streak since adopting the policy. The fans have fully embraced their role in the contest as well, with many holding their outstretched arms out waiting to give a thumbs up or thumbs down following the conclusion of any series (they've all watched Russel Crowe's Gladiator a few too many times).
