INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (KCTV) - The Kansas City Mavericks and City of Independence announced Wednesday their long-time partnership at Cable Dahmer Arena has been extended.

A three-year contract extension keeps the team at the arena in Independence through the 2028-29 ECHL season.

“Independence has been an incredible partner to our organization,” said Kansas City Mavericks owner Lamar Hunt Jr. “The support from the city, our fans, and the local business community has played a huge role in our success on and off the ice. We’re thrilled to extend this relationship and continue building something special together.”

The Mavericks have played at Cable Dahmer Arena since the 2009-10 season, when it was known as the Independence Events Center. During that time, the Mavericks have won three regular season titles, three division titles, and one Kelly Cup title.

“Independence is the long-time home for the Mavericks, and we’re excited to continue the streak to 20 years, ” said Rory Rowland, Mayor of the City of Independence.
