The Derecho has claimed not only a ton of trees and property damage…but something us hockey fans look forward to every year is LIVE HOCKEY! But for us in Cedar Rapids? Looks like we will not be getting out RoughRiders hockey fix…

A statement has been released by the team that due to the heavy damage that the arena took from the derecho, the team has been forced to sit out the 2020/2021 season. See the full statement below..

Stupid derecho.
