Peoria Rivermen News Release

Peoria, Ill. (February 11, 2005) – Rivermen Head Coach/Director of Hockey Operations Jason Christie announced today that second-year left wing Scott Turner has been traded to the Victoria Salmon Kings for financial considerations.

Turner – a 6-foot, 195-pound native of Anchorage, Alaska – collected seven points (2g, 5a) in 23 games with the Rivermen this season. The 25-year-old graduate of the University of Nebraska-Omaha missed 39 days (11/26/04-01/03/05) this year due to sports hernia surgery. After leaving NCAA Division I University of Nebraska-Omaha (UNO) 17 games into his senior season, he signed with the Rivermen as a free agent on December 26, 2003. He finished his rookie campaign ranked second among Peoria rookies in goals (11) and points (21).

On Friday, February 11, the Rivermen host the Dayton Bombers at 7:30 p.m. at Carver Arena. It's the Third Annual Potter & Anderson Jewelers "Wedding on Ice."

The team will wear special Valentine's Day-themed jerseys to be auctioned immediately following the game with the proceeds benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois – Peoria Office. On Sunday, February 13, Peoria hosts the rival Johnstown Chiefs for the first time this season. Game time is 3:00 p.m. at Carver Arena. It is the third of four Peoria Journal Star/Insight Media Family Days. Kids 12 & Under receive a $2 Upper Bowl admission, and there are $2.50 Kids Meals.
