History

When the Lethbridge Broncos returned to their original home of Swift Current following the 1985-86 season, hockey fans in Lethbridge did not have to wait long for a new team. After only one year out of the league, Lethbridge returned to the WHL in 1987-88 when the Calgary Wranglers moved south to become the Hurricanes.
The team's crowning achievement came in 1996-97, when the Hurricanes captured their first, and only, WHL Championship. The Hurricanes would finish as Memorial Cup runners-up when they lost the title game to the Hull Olympiques. That same year, they also won their division title (only done twice before, 1989-90 and 1990-91) and the regular season title.
