Under new general manager Steve Sullivan, the American Hockey League granted the Tucson Roadrunners a much-improved home schedule for 2017-18. If the Roadrunners stay in contention, they have April to themselves as a must-see sports entity in Tucson. They’ll play the defending AHL Calder Cup champions Grand Rapids Griffins at the TCC April 6-7 and finish the regular season April 13-14 at home against the San Diego Gulls. The home schedule also includes first-time-in-Tucson games against the Chicago Wolves (Jan. 26-27) and the Cleveland Monsters (Nov. 3-4). Sounds good.
