2026-27 Division: Mountain Division
Location: Billings, Montana
Formation Year: 2026 (1st season)
Billings Cattle Punchers head coach Steve Haddon talks about what it means for the Billings community to have a hockey team back in town.
“We understand there's a lot of history in Billings. They had junior hockey in the 70s up to the 90s, so they haven't had a team in a few years. So there's a lot of excitement with the new building. So we want to kind of match that history into this new chapter.”
As Haddon embarks on year one as head coach of the Cattle Punchers, he reflects on his previous experience coaching in the League of Opportunity and how he aims to make a strong showing in year one as an organization.
