Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs News Release
BOSSIER CITY, LA - The Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs will complete a six-game homestand with back-to-back games against the Evansville IceMen this week at the CenturyTel Center. Thursday at 6:35 pm the ¬ËBugs host "Hockey Education Night", while Friday ¬â¢s 7:05 pm game is our "Power the Cure" effort against head and neck cancer.

Many activities and entertainment elements of Thursday ¬â¢s game will give fans the chance to learn more about hockey and even win prizes by answering questions correctly!
Don ¬â¢t forget that Thursday is one of the re-scheduled Mudbugs home games and was originally set to be played on Saturday. Season ticket holders are reminded to use their tickets for home game #21 which are dated Saturday, February 5 to gain admission to the CenturyTel Center on Thursday.
Throughout Friday ¬â¢s game against Evansville the Mudbugs are teaming up with Willis-Knighton Health System to "Power the Cure" and raise awareness about head and neck cancer, which is directly attributed to the use of tobacco products.

We ¬â¢re asking fans to get involved in the theme by wearing purple to Friday ¬â¢s game as we spread awareness and promote education about head and neck cancer, including safe alternatives to tobacco.
