The Dubuque Saints are a club high school hockey team playing in the Midwest High School Hockey League[1] (MHSHL) and are based in the city of Dubuque, Iowa, on the banks of the Mississippi River at the intersection of Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Home games are played at the Dubuque Ice Arena (capacity: 3,079).
History[]
Roughly around 1978 the concept of an organized youth hockey league in Dubuque begin to be drawn up on paper lead by Tom Hill & Doug Jass with the unofficial board also including Chuck Haas, Chuck Bailey, and Mike Waddick. With the Five Flags civic center opening in 1979 there would be a future home for the eventual Dubuque Youth Hockey Association (DYHA) and plans for our team began.
Dubuque first joined the MHSHL in the 1982-1983 season playing at Five Flags Center and going by the name of the Dubuque Optimists, this was likely a reference to the Optimist Club of Dubuque who probably helped the team financially. Their first seasons would be difficult posting just 1 win across the two campaigns. The 1984-85 season would see Dubuque leave the MHSHL to compete as a midget level team in Wisconsin. [2]
Dubuque Devils Logo
The 1988-1989 season the team would return to the MHSHL and adopt their new name as the Dubuque Devils. The Devils name was a joking homage to the Junior Tier 1 team playing in Dubuque at the time, the Fighting Saints. This would be the first season the MHSHL split into divisions and Dubuque would win their division with a 12-7-1 record and play in the league championship game.[3] The 1990-91 season would see the Devils be regular season champions for the first time, but lose in the state tournament championship to Sioux City.[4] The Devils would win the varsity sportsmanship award in 90-91, 91-92, 99-00[5], 00-01[6]
The 2003-2004, 2004-2005 seasons would see the Devils combine with Cedar Rapids as a combination team, likely due to low roster numbers.[7][8] The combined teams would return to separate teams with the 2005-2006 season.[9] The 2010-11 season would see the Devils move to their new ice rink and current home, the Dubuque Ice Arena.[10][11][12] The 2013-2014 season would see the Devils advance to the national tournament for the first time, but fail to advance out of pool play.[13][14][15]
The 2014-2015 season would go onto be one of the most successful showings for the Devils. The varsity team would win their division going 21-6-0-1 and place second at the state tournament losing to Kansas City 4 to 1. Dubuque would advanced to the USA Hockey high school national championship tournament where they would get revenge on Kansas City in the semi-final and advance to the championship game[16][17]. They would come up a goal short in the championship losing to Cherry Creek, Colorado to place second in the nation[18][19][17][20][21]. Coach Kevin Nolen would be named co-coach of the year for the MHSHL.[22]
The 2020-2021 season would see large changes to the high school program. Always associated with Dubuque Youth Hockey Association (DYHA), the team would become fully integrated and under board polices. This included a coaching change that brought in a long time DYHA youth coach Tim King, and a complete rebranding of the teams name and logo to the Dubuque Saints.[23] This rebranding not only helped symbolize a new era for the program but also aligned the team with DYHA's partnership with the USHL Junior Tier 1 team, the Dubuque Fighting Saints. This season was played at the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak and presented many unique challenges and resulted in a few local players returning from AAA hockey programs. The Saints would place second in the regular season with the best record in the state of Iowa[24], qualifying them for the national tournament.[25] At the state tournament the Saints powerful offense and stingy defense would meet the leagues top goaltender and come up one goal short in their semi-final game against Waterloo.[16] The team would regroup the next day to win their third place state game. The team would move onto the national tournament in Omaha[26] where they easily won their pool bracket[27][28][29] before eventually meeting the home town team and fellow MHSHL member Omaha in the semi-finals where they would again come up a goal short to finish third at nationals.[30][31][32]
The Junior varsity teams would have strong showings at the state tournament placing third in 2012, 2017, 2018-19, and second place in 2019-20, 2022-23 seasons.
Head Coaches[]
Austin Willenborg (2024 - Present)[]
Coach Willenborg took over as varsity head coach starting with the 2024-25 season, after 5 years as an assistant at the varsity level and one year as JV head coach. Coach Willenborg has 23 years of playing experience ranging from youth hockey, the Dubuque Devils, five years of college hockey, and three years of junior hockey. Coach Willenborg also coached at Iowa State for two seasons.
Tim King (2020 - 2024)[]
Coach King took over the team during the 2020 COVID-19 season and helped usher in a new era including the rebranding of the team to the Saints. With a philosophy of building from the defensive line and focusing on puck possession the team saw immediate success in his first season with placing second in the regular season, third at the state tournament, and third at nationals. Varsity has made the state tournament in each of his four seasons, and JV two out of the four. Coach King was a long time DYHA youth coach, played collegiate hockey at Boston University, and youth hockey in Minnesota.
Kyle Helbing (2018 - 2020)[]
Coach Helbing is a former Dubuque Devil player who returned to coach his former team. Coach Helbing inherited a young team with talent that was thin on depth at the varsity level. Many freshman and sophomores where called to heavy varsity minutes. While the varsity team struggled, the extra experience helped the jv squad as Coach Helbing lead jv to 3rd and 2nd place finishes in his two seasons at the helm.
Kevin Brooks (2017 - 2018)[]
Former USHL Cedar Rapids Roughriders player and University of Iowa coach Kevin Brooks was brought in for the 2017 season. After a 1 win varsity season the year before but a decent showing by the jv team it was hoped a turn around was coming. The 2017 team had a small roster size causing most players to have to play both varsity and jv minutes. The 2017 varsity team while talented and dealing with fatigue struggled with undisciplined play and lead the league in PIM. The jv team featured a very large freshman class that would help turn the team around in future seasons.
Kevin Nolan (2014 - 2016)[]
Coach Nolan lead one of the most successful periods of Devils hockey posting back to back winning seasons and first place division titles. Coach Nolan was at the helm for the Devils best season where they placed second at both state and nationals. The 2014-15 season would see Coach Nolan named MHSHL co-coach of the year.
Ryan Small (2013 - 2014)[]
After serving as an assistant for Coach Burch, former player Ryan Small would take over as head coach. He would lead both the varsity and jv teams to second place division finishes and varsity a berth to state. Coach Small's varsity team would earn the Devils first national tournament invite. Coach Small would go onto serve as an ice official at the high school level.
Chris Burch (2010 - 2013, 2016 - 2017)[]
Coach Burch served as head coach for three seasons over two different spans. In his second season at the helm he would lead his jv squad to a third place state tournament, their first appearance in almost 5 season. He would repeat this with another 3rd place jv finish in the 2017 season. Coach Burch played youth hockey in Michigan and after leaving the high school team became a long time head coach for DYHA and founded the off-season youth East Iowa Hockey organization.
Pete Janecke (2009 - 2010)[]
After many seasons as an assistant, Coach Janecke took the reigns for the 2009-10 season.
Byron Porter (2005 - 2009)[]
Coached the Devils for 4 seasons and won the MHSHL coach of the year in his final season after leading the team to their first winning record in 12 seasons, their first playoff berth since 2002, and a 6th place state finish. Previously served as a long term coach within the DYHA org. [33]
Jamison Lund (2003 - 2004)[]
Coach Lund had the difficult task of taking over the helm during Dubuque's first season as combined team with Cedar Rapids due to low roster numbers in both organizations.
Mitch Jorgenson (2001 - 2003)[]
Served as both an Dubuque Thunderbirds assistant coach and head coach of the high school team at the same time.
Brian Swartz (1999 - 2001)[]
Coach Swartz era was marked by disciplined play that saw the teams penalty minutes be some of the lowest in the league and twice his teams would win sportsmanship awards.
Les Etienne (1993 - 1994)[]
Coach Etienne, a Minnesota native, coached the team for just one year. The Devils hosted the state tournament that year, and posted a record of 1-21-0, their lone win coming in overtime against St. Joseph.
Dan Heath (1992 - 1993)[]
Coach Heath was an assistant coach for the Dubuque Fighting Saints. He finished his lone season on the bench with a record of 3-18-1 at varsity.
Brian Plunkett (1988 - 1992, 1994 - 1999)[]
Coach Plunkett was the longest tenured coach for the Devils and lead the team back into the MHSHL in the 1988-89 season with an impressive second place finish at state.
Frank Kukuczka (1982 - 1986)[]
Coach Kukuczka was the first coach in team history helping form the Dubuque Optimist and also lead the team during their brief departure from the league to play as a midget level team in Wisconsin.

Jersey History[]
Carter Giese Sportsmanship Award[]
Carter Giese was a Dubuque Devil from 2005 thru 2009 where he exceled putting up 42 goals and 40 assists for 82 varsity points across four seasons. In his senior season he would lead the team in goals and assists while making the east all-star team and being named to the leagues Presidents Senior Academic list. Carter was also an elite tennis player winning multiple state titles for Walhert Catholic High School. Tragically Carter passed away in an accident in 2013.
As evident by his almost equal goals to assist ratio, Carter was a team player and in his honor each year the Carter Giese Sportsmanship award is presented to deserving players within DYHA at both the youth and high school level. The official press release presented each year reads, "Carter Giese was a young man whose spirit and attitude should guide all athletes. He had a unique, natural talent that allowed him to compete at a high level in almost every sport. Though he loved all sports, his special passion was for hockey. He ranked highly in both assists and goals scored, while his sense of fairness almost required he record the fewest in penalty minutes — and he did.
As confident and talented as he was, he was never arrogant. He appreciated competition for its own sake and was always fair and respectful. He demonstrated a sense of fellowship toward his fellow competitors, whether teammates or opponents. With Carter, sports were never about winning or defeating an opponent — they were always about the joy of competing.
Carter had much to give and never hesitated to help others. In both sports and life, Carter’s caring and respectful manner touched many lives in ways that reverberate through time. He was truly a young man whose life was a lesson for all of us."
