The Dubuque Saints are a club high school hockey team playing in the Midwest High School Hockey League[1] (MHSHL) and are based in the city of Dubuque, Iowa, on the banks of the Mississippi River at the intersection of Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Home games are played at the Dubuque Ice Arena (capacity: 3,079).

History[edit]

Dubuque first joined the MHSHL in the 1982-1983 season playing at Five Flags Center and going by the name of the Dubuque Optimists and posting a 1 - 17 record it's first season[2], followed by a winless 1983-1984 season.[3] The 1984-85 season would see Dubuque leave the MHSHL to compete as a midget level team in Wisconsin. [4]

The 1988-1989 season the team would return to the MHSHL and adopt their new name as the Dubuque Devils. The Devils name was a joking homage to the Junior Tier 1 team playing in Dubuque at the time, the Fighting Saints. This would be the first season the MHSHL split into divisions and Dubuque would win their division with a 12-7-1 record and play in the league championship game.[5] The 1990-91 season would see the Devils be regular season champions for the first time, but lose in the state tournament championship to Sioux City.[6] The Devils would win the varsity sportsmanship award in 90-91, 91-92, 99-00[7], 00-01[8]

The 2003-2004, 2004-2005 seasons would see the Devils combine with Cedar Rapids as a combination team, likely due to low roster numbers.[9][10] The combined teams would return to seperate teams with the 2005-2006 season.[11] The 2010-11 season would see the Devils move to their new ice rink and current home, the Dubuque Ice Arena.[12][13][14] The 2013-2014 season would see the Devils advance to the national tournament for the first time, but fail to advance out of pool play.[15][16][17]

The 2014-2015 season would go onto be one of the most successful showings for the Devils. The varsity team would win their division going 21-6-0-1 and place second at the state tournament losing to Kansas City 4 to 1. Dubuque would advanced to the USA Hockey high school national championship tournament where they would get revenge on Kansas City in the semi-final and advance to the championship game[18][19]. They would come up a goal short in the championship losing to Cherry Creek, Colorado to place second in the nation[20][21][19][22][23]. Coach Kevin Nolen would be named co-coach of the year for the MHSHL.[24]

The 2020-2021 season would see large changes to the high school program. Always associated with Dubuque Youth Hockey Association (DYHA), the team would become fully integrated and under board polices. This included a coaching change that brought in a long time DYHA youth coach Tim King, and a complete rebranding of the teams name and logo to the Dubuque Saints.[25] This rebranding not only helped symbolize a new era for the program but also aligned the team with DYHA's partnership with the USHL Junior Teir 1 team, the Dubuque Fighting Saints. This season was played at the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak and presented many unique challenges and resulted in a few local players returning from AAA hockey programs. The Saints would place second in the regular season with the best record in the state of Iowa[26], qualifying them for the national tournament.[27] At the state tournament the offense juggernaut of the Saints would meet the leagues top goaltender that would see them lose in the semi-finals by one goal against Waterloo.[18] The team would regroup the next day to win their third place state game. The team would move onto the national tournament in Omaha[28] where they easily won their pool bracket[29][30][31] before eventually meeting the home town team and fellow MHSHL member Omaha in the semi-finals where they would again come up a goal short to finish third at nationals.[32][33][34]

The Junior varsity teams would have strong showings at the state tournament placing third in 2012, 2017, 2018-19, and second place in 2019-20, 2022-23 seasons.
