Tucson Roadrunners News Release


TUCSON - With six weeks and 20 games remaining in the American Hockey League (AHL) regular season, the Tucson Roadrunners, top affiliate of the Utah Mammoth, open the home stretch of the 2025-26 campaign with 12 March games, including six at Tucson Arena.

Several fan-favorite theme nights return to the Old Pueblo this month, including First Responder Night, St. Patty's Celebration and the final El Lazo Night of the 2025-26 season, alongside two new additions making their Southern Arizona debut: Emo Night and Grateful Dead Night.

The Roadrunners begin March on the road, finishing their six-game road trip against Pacific Division rivals San Jose Barracuda (Mar. 1), Ontario Reign (Mar. 4) and Bakersfield Condors (Mar. 6-7), before returning home for a four-game homestand.

Tucson's March home slate kicks off with four games in six days, beginning with a midweek series against the Henderson Silver Knights on Mar. 10-11 - Henderson's first visit to Tucson Arena this season - and concluding with a two-game weekend set against San Jose on Mar. 14-15.

The Roadrunners will make their final regular-season trip north of the border to face the Central Division's Manitoba Moose for the first time since Tucson's inaugural 2016-17 season on Mar. 21 and Mar. 23. Tucson closes March with a two-game home series against the Pacific Division leading Ontario Reign on Mar. 27-28, marking the final meetings of the regular season between the two clubs.

Tickets for all March home games, as well as remaining 2025-26 home dates, are available at Ticketmaster.com.

The six-game March home slate promises exciting ticket value, fun pre-game parties, food and beverage specials, specialty jerseys and more!
