SOUTHAVEN, MS --- Mississippi RiverKings hockey fans are reminded that you can help celebrate the team's final home game of the regular season and get ready for the upcoming CHL playoffs this Saturday with some great food at a pre-game tail gate party.

All are invited to come out and have a great time ahead of the RiverKings' final home game of the regular season against the Tulsa Oilers at 7:05 PM. Cost is a donation to the Jr. StreetKings youth roller hockey program in Hernando and drink is included in that donation.

Also this week, the RiverKings will be at Windy City Grille for a player appearance from 6:00 to 8:00 PM this Thursday evening. Fans are encouraged to come out and lend your support as the RiverKings get ready for the regular season wrapup and the start of the playoffs next week. Windy City Grille is located at 330 West Commerce Street in Hernando on the square.

The final two home games of the Mississippi RiverKings regular season come this Friday and Saturday night at the DeSoto Civic Center, as your RiverKings take on the Tulsa Oilers. The games are important as the RiverKings look to lock up fourth place and home ice advantage in the first round of the upcoming CHL playoffs next week.

Both games have been labeled as Season Ticket Redemption nights, where season ticket holders can redeem unused season tickets for tickets to this weekend's game.

Saturday is Fan Appreciation Night and Miller Lite Jersey Auction night with Inferno Brothers Entertainment providing music in the DCC before the game.

After Saturday's contest, the playoffs start with the RiverKings playing the Missouri Mavericks in a first-round best-of-three series. Home games for the RiverKings in this series will be Wednesday and possibly Thursday if the RiverKings are the fourth seed in the playoffs, and Monday if Mississippi finishes fifth.

Playoff ticket packages are now available. A package of 14 games (the most number of home games possible) will ensure that you have the same seat for all of the RiverKings' post-season action and any unused tickets will be credited to next year's season ticket balance.

TUESDAY EVENT CANCELLED: Due to the playoff schedule, a player appearance scheduled for next Tuesday night at Buffalo Wild Wings in Southaven has been cancelled.
