The Connecticut RoughRiders are a Tier II junior ice hockey team playing in the Eastern Hockey League. The RoughRiders play their home games at the SoNo Ice House in Norwalk, Connecticut.
History In 2017, the Superior RoughRiders, members of the Western States Hockey League, founded a Tier III affiliate program and reached an agreement to begin playing at the SoNo Ice House this season. At that time the Connecticut Oilers, an existing Eastern Hockey League team, also played at that venue but quickly chose to relocate to Hamden, Connecticut. Since then, the Connecticut RoughRiders have operated in the EHL through the league's withdrawal from USA Hockey oversight and promotion to Tier II status.
