The Tucson Roadrunners are coming off a team-defining season which they won 42 games en route to their first postseason appearance.

Just over a month removed from a second-round playoff exit, the Roadrunners' future has already shifted after the team announced first-year coach Mike Van Ryn would leave to become an assistant for the St. Louis Blues.

But it's never too late to look back at a historic season in Tucson. Timothy Gassen and Tom Callahan, voice of the Tucson Roadrunners, take you inside the special run.
