River City Gladiators, 3112 W Westport Rd, Peoria, IL 61615, US

The Peoria Rivermen began play as the Peoria Prancers in the IHL during the 1982-83 season, and have been operating continuously ever since. After two years as the Prancers, the team switched names for good to the Rivermen, and went on to win the IHL's Turner Cup in their first season under the new moniker. Following another Turner Cup in 1991 and an ECHL Kelly Cup in 2000, and now the 2022 Presidents Cup Champions the Rivermen have proven to be one of the most successful and enduring franchises in all of Minor Pro Hockey. Now entering our ninth season in the SPHL, the Rivermen look forward to more continued success on and off the ice in Peoria.
