Peoria Rivermen hockey is Central Illinois’ premier winter entertainment option! As members of the “AAA” American Hockey League, the Rivermen play 40 regular season home games each season at the Peoria Civic Center in downtown. The team is the primary affiliate of the NHL’s St. Louis Blues, and during the past two-plus seasons over 30 players have donned both a Rivermen and Blues jersey. The AHL regular season lasts from October through April, with playoffs lasting as late as June. We invite you to come down and join us for an exciting evening of family entertainment!
A part of the Peoria community for 26 years, the team has won championships in both the now-defunct International Hockey League (1985, 1991) and the East Coast Hockey League (2000). Several NHL greats have played for Peoria over the years, including Curtis Joseph, Erik Johnson, Tony Twist, Kelly Chase, Hannu Toivonen, Lee Stempniak, and David Backes.
