Player Housing Program

The Roughrider's Housing Program has helped 16 to 20-year-old athletes from all over the United States, Canada and other countries find homes in Cedar Rapids and surrounding communities. They relocate to CR to reach their goal of obtaining a Division I college hockey scholarship.

The USHL experience, though, begins in the home of the housing families:

"The Roughrider Housing Program is a great experience for the family and the player. The program is also a vital part of the team's success."

-Mark Carlson, Head Coach and General Manager.
