RiverKings' Training Camp Starts October 5th

August 14, 2008 - Central Hockey League (CHL)
Mississippi RiverKings News Release


This year's edition of the Mississippi RiverKings of the Central Hockey League will start showing new Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations Kevin Kaminski their talents when training camp begins on Sunday, October 5th at the DeSoto Civic Center in Southaven. That will be the day the team will first report, in advance of the regular season opener at home against the Wichita Thunder on Friday, October 17th at 7:05 PM.

Highlighting the pre-season for the RiverKings will be two exhibition games to be played at the DeSoto Civic Center on Friday, October 10th, and Saturday, October 11th, at 7:05 PM both nights, against the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs.

Bossier-Shreveport will actually be splitting ice time with the RiverKings during the week, as they will have their first week of training camp at the DCC in conjunction with the RiverKings' pre-season workouts. The Mudbugs are having their initial week of training in Southaven due to the lack of available ice that week at their home arena.

Kaminski expects approximately 25 to 30 players will be in camp. He's aware of the value the exhibition games will have for him and for the fans.

"The two exhibition games with the Mudbugs will be a great way to start the season," Kaminski said. "It will be great for the fans to see what an exciting product we will have this year."

Kaminski continued, "It will also allow me to get a better look at the players to see who will make the RiverKings. It gives the players a chance to show their stuff after five days of training camp."

Among the other events surrounding the RiverKings' pre-season preparations will be a public skating opportunity for season ticket holders and sponsors at the DeSoto Civic Center from 2:00 to 4:00 PM on Saturday, October 11th. Plans are also being made for a "Fanfest" event to be held at the DCC following the public skating outing and prior to the second exhibition game against the Mudbugs.

More details on all of these activities will be announced in the near future as they become finalized.

Season tickets remain available with packages starting as low as $46 per month for another exciting season of Mississippi RiverKings' hockey. For more information, contact your RiverKings' representative at 662-342-1755 today!
