LAREDO, TX- The Laredo Bucks of the Central Hockey League will have a three-game homestand this week, when they host the Rocky Mountain Rage on Wednesday, the Mississippi Riverkings on Friday and the Tulsa Oilers on Saturday at the Laredo Entertainment Center.

On Wednesday night the Bucks will hold their third annual adopt-a-pet night at the LEC. The Laredo Animal Protective Society Shelter will be on hand with several dogs and cats up for adoption.

The Laredo Animal Protective Society Shelter is located at 2500 Gonzalez St. in Laredo. Over the past two seasons, including summer open houses, more than 70 animals have found new homes.

Once again adoption fees will run $70 for dogs (any size, any age any breed), which includes their first 3 booster shots. The same is included with the Adoption of Cats, except the fee is $45. All animals are bathed and dipped when they arrive at the shelter. For more information on the Laredo Animal Shelter contact them at (956)-724-8364.

The game will be a marquee match-up of two of the best teams in the league, with Rocky Mountain (59 points) and Laredo (56 points) second and third in the race for the Governor's Cup.

Also on Wednesday night former Buck and current Rage Captain Brent Cullaton will return to the LEC for the first time as an opposing player. Cullaton captained Laredo to the 2004 and 2006 President's Cup Championships. As of Monday Cullaton is second in the CHL in scoring with 66 points (12-54=66).
