Tucson, Arizona – The Tucson Roadrunners, AHL affiliate of the Arizona Coyotes, will host two March weekends of Friday and Saturday games while wrapping the month up with our popular $2 Twos-Day and Kids Free Wednesday at the Tucson Arena.

The Roadrunners open the month on Friday, March 3, as they’ll play host to the San Diego Gulls for the team’s second El Lazo de Tucson Night of the season presented by the City of Tucson. The Roadrunners will embrace all that is Southern Arizona with their alternate El Lazo de Tucson identity that honors the rich culture and heritage of the area, featuring a special alternate El Lazo jersey and a bilingual game presentation. The team will also offer a special Dusty’s Cheering Section package for the first time hockey fan that includes a game ticket, a Roadrunners Rally Towel, and a pregame edition of Roadrunners Hockey Rules in English or Spanish for $20.
