Peoria Rivermen News Release


Peoria, Ill. (October 7 2008) - General Manager of Hockey Operations Kevin McDonald has announced that the Rivermen have released defenseman Riley Weselowski.

The Pilot Mound, Manitoba native played in two preseason games for the Rivermen last week. Weselowski attended and played for Bemidji State University before coming to Peoria training camp.

The regular season opens on Friday as the Rivermen head to Iowa. Norm Ulrich will come out of retirement to make his return to the broadcast booth. You can hear it all on 101.1 Hippie Radio with the pre-game show beginning at 6:30pm.

On Saturday, October 11, the Rivermen face off against the Iowa Chops in their home opener; it's the back end of a home-and-home set between the clubs. It is Heritage Bank Magnet Schedule Night for the first 5,000 fans, and one lucky fan will win a Frigidaire Refrigerator, courtesy of the UFS Downtown Outlet Center, on which to put their magnet. Fans can also enjoy a pre-game tailgate event - "Smoke The Chops!" - just outside the Jefferson Street entrance of Carver Arena from 5:30-7:00 p.m. It is presented by Alwan & Sons Meat Company, Anheuser-Busch, Brewers Distributing, Coca-Cola and Centerplate.
