Cedar Rapids Roughriders

The Cedar Rapids Roughriders hockey club heads into 2026-27 after finishing 36-17-3-6 for 81 points and fourth place in the Eastern Conference. Defenseman Hawke Huff earned All-USHL First Team honors, and Mark Carlson picked up USHL Coach of the Year hardware after guiding that group through the regular season, even though the Muskegon Lumberjacks swept Cedar Rapids out of the Clark Cup Playoffs in the first round.

USHL Eastern

The Eastern Conference brings Cedar Rapids back to the position it held for most of 2025-26, a fourth-place finish built on one of junior hockey's toughest league grinds. No team defines that push more than the Dubuque Fighting Saints, a fellow Iowa club that squares off with the Roughriders eight times in 2026-27, more than any other Eastern Conference opponent will see. Muskegon went on to reach the conference finals, a reminder of just how competitive the Eastern side of the bracket was in 2026.

Cedar Rapids Roughriders at ImOn Ice Arena

ImOn Ice Arena packs 3,850 seats around a rink tight enough that even the upper rows feel close to the boards, a layout that keeps the building loud on big nights against Dubuque or Muskegon. A second sheet next door hosts public skating and youth hockey between Roughriders home dates, so the building rarely sits empty during the season. Concession stands renovated in 2019 lean on local Cedar Rapids flavors rather than standard arena fare, and the concourses stay wide enough to move through between periods without missing much action.

Cedar Rapids Roughriders Schedule

A cross-conference slate stretches Cedar Rapids Roughriders games to 62 outings in 2026-27, part of the league's 25th anniversary season.

Every team closes out the same day, with the full slate wrapping up on April 3, 2027.

The season ahead gives Cedar Rapids a chance to turn last spring's early playoff exit into a longer run, with Hawke Huff back on the blue line and Mark Carlson's system already proven at the USHL level. Home dates against Dubuque carry extra weight given how tight that rivalry has become, and a crowded Eastern Conference means every point down the stretch will matter again.
