SOUTHAVEN---The Memphis RiverKings will have a new face in the line-up tomorrow night when they play their first home game since November 5. Head Coach Mark Richards announced the signing of Dan Buccella today (Monday) and said "for now, it is just for the one game."

Buccella is off to a good start for the Hunstville Havoc of the Southern Professional Hockey League. He is their leading scorer with two goals and six assists in seven games played this season. He was the Havoc's fifth leading scorer last season when he tallied 49 points and was fourth on the team with 25 goals. Buccella was a teammate of current RiverKings winger Allan Carr. Carr was the second leading scorer with Hunstville last season putting up 56 goals and 111 points.

"This is what our league is trying to do, develop players to give them an opportunity at the AA level," Huntsville Head Coach John Gibson said. "I have started a good working relationship with Coach Mark Richards of the Riverkings and I am excited that he is giving Bucky a look."

The RiverKings are home for the next three starting with tomorrow night's game with Bossier-Shreveport. They will also host Fort Worth on Thursday night and Topeka on Friday night. All three games start at 7:05 and can be heard live on Sports 56 WHBQ as well as on the web at riverkings.com.
