The Cedar Rapids RoughRiders are members of the United States Hockey League, the only Tier 1 Hockey League in the United States. Our players, ages 16-20 years of age, come from all over the world for the opportunity to earn a scholarship to play college hockey. Additionally and of equal importance is they are working towards being better people as well. The team plays a 60 game schedule from September through April which includes a preseason and postseason. The RoughRiders were founded in 1999 after being formerly known as the North Iowa Huskies out of Mason City, Iowa.
