The Dubuque Fighting Saints joined the United States Hockey League (USHL) for the 1980–1981 season. The current Dubuque Fighting Saints rejoined the USHL in 2010.

The Saints glory years lasted from 1980–1981 through to 1984–1985, when they played under the coaching supervision of Jack Barzee who left to become a central figure in the National Hockey League's Central Scouting Staff. During the first season, the Dubuque Fighting Saints 1980–1981 record was 52-11-2, a league record. In 1982–1983, the Saints went on to win their second national championship in three years.

Clark Cup Champions

This Cup is awarded each year to the winner of the USHL's Tier 1 Junior Hockey playoff champions. The Clark Cup is one of two trophies that can be won by any team in a given year, with the other being the Anderson Cup. Dubuque won this Cup three of its first five years as a franchise and two of the first three years back in the league.

  • 1984–1985
  • 1982–1983
  • 1980–1981

Anderson Cup Champions

The Anderson Cup is won by the team that accumulates the most points in the standings at the end of the regular season. Dubuque won the Anderson Cup in two of the franchise's first three seasons and again in its third season after rejoining the league:

  • 1982–1983
  • 1980–1981
