Victoria, BC - The Victoria Salmon Kings, proud affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks and Manitoba Moose, announced today that special advanced ticket prices are still available to purchase for this weekend's second-annual Eco Night.

Saturday night is "Eco Night" at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre where the Salmon Kings will team up with The Land Conservancy of British Columbia (TLC) to promote ecological awareness throughout the evening. Advanced tickets are now available to purchase for Eco Night for just $18! From each ticket sale, $3 will be donated to TLC to help their initiatives throughout British Columbia. Advanced tickets are available until Thursday through Select Your Tickets (www.selectyourtickets.com or 250-220-7777) or TLC (www.conservancy.bc.ca).

Throughout the night, TLC will be raffling off a Clipper Canoe from Ocean River Sports, and will be handing out a limited amount of tree saplings from their concourse booths after the game. TLC will also be selling reflective green arm-bands throughout the evening with all proceeds supporting their current projects. The "green bands for green lands" will be available for $5 each.
