Cincinnati Cyclones Tickets

Cincinnati Cyclones

Hockey has been part of the Queen City since 1990, and the black-and-red club carrying the Cyclones name opens its 25th ECHL season in 2026-27. Riley Weselowski is back behind the bench. The Cincinnati Cyclones Roster brings back returning scorer Adam Kydd alongside a veteran group signed ahead of the 2026-27 season. Cyclones hockey nights start at Event Tickets Center.

The ECHL Affiliate of the Toronto Marlies

Every ECHL club serves as a development rung, and Cincinnati sits directly below the American Hockey League's Toronto Marlies in the Toronto Maple Leafs system, a partnership that began in 2024-25. That pipeline moves in both directions. Goaltender Ken Appleby split time with the organization during 2025-26, and forwards have moved between Cincinnati and Toronto in both directions across the affiliation. Watching players push for Toronto Marlies games gives each shift extra weight.

Cincinnati Cyclones at Heritage Bank Center

Heritage Bank Center sits on the banks of the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, next to Great American Ballpark, having opened in 1975 as Riverfront Coliseum and now listing a hockey capacity of 14,453. Hockey nights use the lower bowl, which puts fans close enough to hear the boards rattle, while the building hosts everything from concerts to college basketball the rest of the year. Theme nights and $2 beer promotions fill out the calendar, and The Banks district sits right outside.

Cincinnati Cyclones Schedule

A 72-game regular season awaits every ECHL club in 2026-27, and Cincinnati Cyclones games begin on the road against the Indy Fuel on Oct. 17, 2026. Most of the slate falls against Central Division opponents, including the Toledo Walleye, whose repeated playoff meetings with Cincinnati have made the Walleye the measuring stick here. The Wheeling Nailers are the most frequent opponent on this schedule, so don't miss the game against the Nailers on Nov. 20, 2026, at home.

Cincinnati Cyclones Kelly Cup Playoffs

Two Kelly Cups sit in the trophy case, from 2008 and 2010, and both were clinched at home. The 2007-08 group set the standard with 55 wins and 115 points, taking the Brabham Cup along with the championship. More recently, the Cincinnati Cyclones Record of 75 points in 2025-26 marked a six-point improvement but left the club just outside the Central Division's final playoff berth.
