The week ahead

Monday, Jan. 2, 2006 | 7:34 a.m.

TUESDAY

PRO HOCKEY

Reading Royals at Las Vegas Wranglers, 7 p.m., Orleans Arena

In a shocking development, there's no promotion for this game. So local fans will have to settle for good minor-league hockey.

TICKET INFORMATION: 284-7777

THURSDAY

WOMEN'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Wyoming at Lady Rebels, 7 p.m., Cox Pavilion

Two things about the Cowgirls: One, they are 10-1. Two, they really haven't played anybody. Don't expect Lady Rebels coach Regina Miller to mention No. 2 during her pregame talk.

TICKET INFORMATION: 739-FANS

THURSDAY

COLLEGE SWIMMING

UNLV vs. North Carolina, Notre Dame and Wyoming, 1 p.m., Buchanan Natatorium.

The Rebels' swimming teams are always successful and usually underappreciated. Here's a chance for local fans to change the latter during a slow local sports week.

TICKET INFORMATION: Free

FRIDAY

PRO HOCKEY

Phoenix Roadrunners at Las Vegas Wranglers, 7 p.m., Orleans Arena

You can't judge a hockey game by its book cover, although kids will get a free one with their ticket stub on Book Covers Night.

TICKET INFORMATION: 284-7777

SATURDAY

PRO HOCKEY

Stockton Thunder at Las Vegas Wranglers, 7 p.m., Orleans Arena

It's Port-of-Subs pre-game party/Big Elvis night at the frozen cement pond. So be careful not to get any sequins on your salami.
