Tucson Roadrunners

The Tucson Roadrunners are a professional ice hockey team playing in the American Hockey League as the affiliate of the NHL's Utah Mammoth, with home games at the Tucson Convention Center. The team debuted in 2016 after relocating from Springfield, Massachusetts, taking a name that nods to both local wildlife and its former NHL parent, the Arizona Coyotes. Fans know the team's mascot, Dusty the Roadrunner, who wears jersey number 16 in honor of the franchise's founding year in Tucson.
