The Mississippi RiverKings were a professional minor league ice hockey team. The RiverKings were a member of the Southern Professional Hockey League from 2011 to 2018 after playing their first nineteen seasons (1992–2011) in the Central Hockey League. On July 2, 2007, after 15 seasons as the Memphis RiverKings, the team's name was changed to Mississippi RiverKings.
For their first eight seasons, the team played their home games in the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, Tennessee. From 2000 to 2018, their home was the Landers Center in Southaven, Mississippi, a suburb of Memphis.
On June 13, 2011, it was announced the RiverKings had left the CHL to join the SPHL.[1]
On May 24, 2018, the RiverKings' ownership announced it had suspended operations for the 2018–19 season,[2][3][4] but the team never again took the ice.
