BATON ROUGE — Hockey is officially back in the Capital City. The Baton Rouge Kingfish return to the Raising Cane’s River Center Friday night, taking the ice for their 7:05 p.m. puck drop against the Monroe Moccasins.

The team is reviving a familiar franchise name in Baton Rouge, taking over the arena following the departure of the Baton Rouge Zydeco, which played the venue for three seasons.

Like their predecessors, the Kingfish will compete in the Federal Prospects Hockey League (FPHL). Following tonight's home opener, the team travels north to face Monroe once again on Saturday night at the Monroe Civic Center.
