Cincinnati RailRaiders News Release


CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jon Kitna will be the featured speaker Friday, March 5 when the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks face the Chicago Wolves at 7:35 p.m. on Faith and Family Night at Cincinnati Gardens.

Kitna will share a message with the crowd prior to the game at 6:00 p.m. and drop the ceremonial first puck. Fans interested in hearing Kitna speak will be permitted into the arena through the even section side entrance beginning at 5:30 p.m. and must sit in the designated seating area.

Kitna, 31, was named NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2003, marking the first time in more than a decade the Bengals took home one of the Associated Press' major awards.

The last Bengal to receive an AP honor was wide receiver Carl Pickens in 1992, when he was named the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Kitna became the first Bengal to be named AP's Comeback Player of the Year after tossing a career-high 26 touchdowns against just 15 interceptions that produced a career-best 87.4 passer rating while leading Cincinnati to its first eight-win season in seven years.

Tickets can be purchased at the Cincinnati Gardens Box Office or charge by phone at (513) 562-4949.
