The
Missouri Mavericks in conjunction with the Wichita Thunder have
announced the teams will be playing for the Independence Cup this season
presented by Independence Tourism. Missouri and Wichita play a total of
10 games against each other this season and the team who earns the most
points against will win the Independence Cup and a $2,000 youth hockey
scholarship.
"We
are very happy to strengthen our rivalry with Wichita and benefit youth
hockey at the same time," said Mavericks' President and General Manager
Brent Thiessen. "This will certainly add to the excitement of our games
with Wichita this season."
Should
the teams each win five games this season, the tiebreaker will be the
team with the most points in the season series followed by goal
differential.
The
winner will be presented with the Independence Cup on March 24, 2013 in
Wichita following the tenth and final game of the season between the
two teams. The winner will keep possession of the cup for the following
season.
The
Mavericks and Thunder will battle in the first three games for the
Independence Cup this weekend. The teams will play in Wichita on Friday
and Sunday nights, and the Mavericks will host the Thunder for their
home opener on Saturday night at Independence Events Center. Tickets for
all 33 regular season games on are sale now via Ticketmaster. For more
