Join us on Saturday, November 7th as the Buccaneers join forces with STAR 102.5 to COMBAT HUNGER in Central Iowa. Fans who bring a non-perishable food item receive $3 off an arena level ticket to the game that night against the Tri City Storm.

We're also hosting a fight at center ice between to Drake college students in a epic battle - they'll take it to center ice decked out in full fight gear and fight three 10 second rounds. The winner will receive a great prize package.

(And a sidenote to those diehard Bucs fans - Andrew Panzarella will not be playing in Saturday's game for Tri City - he'll be scratched and fulfilling a two game suspension for fighting in Tuesday's game - check out Pointstreak to see the boxscore for the game.)

Des Moines Adult Hockey Leagues - September 2009 to April 2010

With the Bucs’ 2009-2010 hockey season right around the corner, it’s time to start up another year of Adult Hockey Leagues at Buccaneer Arena. This year, we will be featuring 4 leagues to cater to all metro adult hockey players, including a Novice Hockey League for the beginning hockey player.

The Novice Hockey League is designed for anyone interested in playing hockey but have no/limited experience playing hockey.

Last year’s players included DMYHA parents looking to get learn the sport their children play and Buccaneer season ticket holders wanting to play the game they love so much.

The Novice Hockey League will be played on Sunday afternoons (2:30 and 4:00). The league will run 29 weeks; 20 games and 9 practices.
