Tucson Roadrunners News Release


TUCSON - The Tucson Roadrunners, the top affiliate of the Utah Mammoth, open 2026 with eight home games at Tucson Arena in January, promising a jam-packed month of hockey, entertainment and fan experiences.

Celebrating their 10th Anniversary Season in the Old Pueblo, the Roadrunners will highlight January with fan-favorite theme nights, including Wizards & Witches Night, U of A/College Night, Country Night, Star Wars Night, Health and Wellness Night and a new addition this year, Mardi Gras Night.

Tucson's January home schedule kicks off with a six-game homestand: the Iowa Wild visit on Jan. 9-10, the San Jose Barracuda on Jan. 16-17 and the San Diego Gulls on Jan. 20-21. The Wild make their first and only regular-season trip to Southern Arizona, and the Barracuda return for their first of two visits to Tucson Arena.

Following the homestand, the Roadrunners head out on a three-game road trip, beginning with a two-game set against the Henderson Silver Knights on Jan. 24-25, and finishing with the team's first visit to San Diego on Jan. 28. Tucson closes the month at home against the Pacific Division-leading Colorado Eagles on Jan. 30-31.
