Fans will have an opportunity to meet Tony, who will be signing autographs on the concourse before the game and during intermissions.

"We are excited to continue on with our tradition of rebranding one of our regular season home games with a historical look back at something popular in our region, said Rivermen President and COO Bart Rogers. "This season we focused on our own brand, the Peoria Rivermen with our rich history of hockey, portraying the rebrand with one of the most popular Rivermen players of all time....Hockey tough guy Tony Twist. Better yet, Tony has agreed to come up and join us for the night to sign autographs and hopefully raise a lot of money for St. Jude. A Win-Win for our rebrand night!"

The Rivermen will take on the Pensacola Ice Flyers on March 6. Rivermen fans can purchase tickets by calling the Peoria Rivermen box office at 309-676-1040 or by visiting www.rivermen.net.
