Tucson hockey fans have plenty to cheer about this November as the Tucson Roadrunners have caught fire at just the right time, stringing together an impressive six-game winning streak that has the team rolling heading deeper into the AHL season.
The latest chapter in the run came in dramatic fashion when the Roadrunners earned an overtime victory — courtesy of a winner from Jones — to push the streak to six games. The thrilling finish capped a weekend that saw the team already riding high after a 3-1 win over the Firebirds that had extended the streak to five games.
That win over the Firebirds showed the Roadrunners’ defensive resolve, holding Coachella Valley to a single goal while finding the back of the net three times themselves. The team carried that momentum directly into the overtime showdown, refusing to let the streak slip away even when regulation ended level.
Six consecutive wins is the kind of run that energizes a fanbase and builds genuine confidence in a locker room. For Tucson supporters who pack the arena each home game, watching their team grind out victories in back-to-back nights — including a clutch overtime winner — is exactly the kind of local sports story worth celebrating.
The Roadrunners have now established themselves as one of the hottest teams in the league over this stretch, and with the winning streak still alive, Tucson fans will be eager to see how far this squad can take it. If the last two weekends are any indication, the Roadrunners are playing some of the best hockey in the building this season — and the city is taking notice.
