About USPHL Cincinnati Cyclones

OUR HISTORY

The Cincinnati Jr. Cyclones USPHL Premier team was established in 2021 as an expansion franchise competing in the Great Lakes Division, originally hosting home games at Heritage Bank Center.

The program was later acquired by the Cincinnati Cyclones ECHL organization, bringing the team under the same umbrella as Cincinnati’s professional hockey club. Following the purchase, the team relocated to Queen City Sportsplex, which also serves as the official practice facility of the ECHL Cyclones.

In 2024, the program was officially renamed the USPHL Cincinnati Cyclones and rebranded to align with the professional team’s identity, strengthening the developmental pathway within the organization.

In 2026, the USPHL announced league-wide realignment, placing the Cyclones in the Midwest Division beginning with the 2026–27 season.

PLAYER FIRST CULTURE

We believe in a genuine player first culture. Every dollar- whether paid for in fees or raised through fundraising- is reinvested into our athletes. From development resources to travel, equipment and advancement opportunities, everything we do is built to support our players.
