History

The previous Calgary WHL (at that time called the Western Canada Hockey League, or WCHL) franchise, the Calgary Centennials, had moved south to become the Billings Bighorns shortly after the end of the 1976–77 WCHL season. A new investor group bought the existing Winnipeg Monarchs franchise and relocated them to Calgary before the start of the 1977–78 WCHL season. They would last 10 years in Calgary before relocating again to Lethbridge, Alberta, becoming the Hurricanes. After 35 years, the Wranglers name was revived when the Calgary Flames re-located their American Hockey League affiliate to the Scotiabank Saddledome and re-named them after the old team.[1]
