Omaha Lancers Hockey Season

The Omaha Lancers play in the United States Hockey League, the top junior hockey league in the country. Players are mostly 16 to 20 years old and are working toward college scholarships and the NHL draft, so the pace is fast and the players are hungry.

Home games are at Liberty First Credit Union Arena in Ralston, a mid-size arena in the heart of the metro. The 2026-27 home schedule runs from October 24, 2026 to March 26, 2027, including a Halloween-night matchup with in-state rival Lincoln.

It is an affordable, family-friendly night out with easy parking, and a good choice for visitors who want live hockey without big-arena prices.
