Tucson Roadrunners Tickets

Tucson Roadrunners

Born out of the Springfield Falcons' move west in 2016, the Roadrunners gave southern Arizona its first American Hockey League (AHL) club and turned downtown into a winter hockey town. The 2025-26 campaign closed at 34-28-10-0, eighth in the 10-team Pacific Division and one spot outside the postseason, with captain Austin Poganski among the leaders up front. Speed and a roster stocked with young talent still define how this team plays. Tucson Roadrunners tickets are listed at Event Tickets Center.

The AHL Affiliate of the Utah Mammoth

Each roster here doubles as a development lab for the Utah Mammoth, the NHL club that inherited the affiliation after the Coyotes relocated to Salt Lake City in 2024. Defenseman Dmitri Simashev earned a spot on the AHL All-Rookie Team in 2025-26 before moving up, following a path traveled earlier by Dylan Guenther, Conor Garland, and Adin Hill. Fans who track Utah Mammoth tickets are often watching the same names a season or two later, which gives games in Tucson a scouting-report edge.

Tucson Roadrunners at Tucson Convention Center Arena

Pro hockey has filled Tucson Convention Center Arena since 2016, and the building's age gives it a compact feel that newer rinks rarely match. Rows sit close enough to the glass that you hear the boards rattle, cowbells carry through the concourse, and Sonoran hot dogs turn up alongside the usual rink fare. Theme nights, postgame skates, and a downtown location within walking distance of Congress Street restaurants round out a night at the rink.

Tucson Roadrunners Schedule

There are 72 games in the regular AHL season, and the Tucson Roadrunners hockey schedule puts 36 of them in southern Arizona, with more than 70% of home dates landing on a weekend. The 2026-27 slate opens at home against the Colorado Eagles on Oct. 3, the first season opener in the Old Pueblo since 2018-19. The rivalry with the San Diego Gulls picks up quickly after that, so don't miss the game against the Gulls on Oct. 16, at home.

Tucson Roadrunners Calder Cup Playoffs

The postseason ledger runs through 2024-25, when Tucson last qualified for the Calder Cup Playoffs before missing out in 2025-26. The deepest run came in 2018, when a first-place Pacific Division finish carried the club into the second round, where Texas ended the season. A trip to the Calder Cup Finals is the one line still missing, and the prospect depth flowing down from Salt Lake City gives this group a real path toward it.
