Mississippi RiverKings News Release
SOUTHAVEN, MS --- The Mississippi RiverKings (3-4-0) look to put together their first winning streak of the season tonight, when they host the Tulsa Oilers (2-6-1) in a 7:05 PM meeting at the DeSoto Civic Center in Southaven. Mississippi is coming off a 4-3 victory over the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs last night at the DCC, while the Oilers will come to Southaven off a 4-2 loss at Missouri last night.
Tickets remain available for RiverKings hockey through the DeSoto Civic Center box office and through Ticketmaster. Flex and group plans are also available. Fans are reminded the last day to order season tickets for this season is tomorrow, while orders are already being taken for next year's season tickets.
Tonight's game will be broadcast on WPGF-FM 87.7 "The Pig," with RiverKings Media Coordinator Bob Bakken providing the play-by-play. Air-time for the broadcast this evening will be 6:50 PM. Tonight's contest will also be audio streamed on www.radiopig.com and will also be covered by the CHL-TV webcasting service.
