Omaha Lancers News Release


RALSTON, NE - The Omaha Lancers (13-9-0-0) will play three games against the Tri-City Storm this weekend.

Friday will be the fourth time the Lancers and Storm will meet up. In the prior meetups, the Lancers are 1-2 against the Storm. The three-game weekend was originally planned to be played at the USHL Frosty Cup in Dallas, TX. Due to circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, and player safety, the USHL canceled the event. Friday starts the weekend series in Kearney, NE at the Viaero Center (7:05 PM), followed by Saturday's game at Ralston Arena (6:05 PM). Sunday, both teams will head back to Kearney for a 6:05 PM puck drop at the Viaero Center.

After this weekend, the Lancers and Storm will not see each other again until the final week of the regular season (April 23rd and 24th).
