Dubuque Thunderbirds Tickets

Dubuque Thunderbirds, also known as the Dubuque Fighting Saints, are a junior ice hockey team based in Dubuque, Iowa. The team plays their home games at the Mystique Community Ice Center and is part of the United States Hockey League (USHL). The USHL is a junior ice hockey league that consists of teams spread across the midwestern United States.

The Dubuque Thunderbirds were founded in 2009, joining the USHL as an expansion team. In their first season, they made it to the playoffs but were eliminated in the first round. However, the team has since seen more success, reaching the Clark Cup Finals in both the 2010-2011 and 2012-2013 seasons.

The Thunderbirds have produced several talented NHL players such as Johnny Gaudreau of the Calgary Flames and Zemgus Girgensons of the Buffalo Sabres. Additionally, the team has had numerous players drafted by NHL teams over the years.

Aside from their achievements on the ice, the Dubuque Thunderbirds are also active in the community. They host several events throughout the year, including a golf outing, a charity auction, and a teddy bear toss game where fans are encouraged to bring stuffed animals to throw onto the ice after the team's first goal. The toys are then donated to local children's charities.

Overall, the Dubuque Thunderbirds are an important part of the sports community in Dubuque and the greater Midwest region. Their success on the ice and contributions to the community make them a team worth following and supporting.
