The team is based in Lethbridge, Alberta, and play their home games at the ENMAX Centre.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Season-by-season record[edit]WHL Championship history[edit]Current roster[edit]Team records[edit]NHL alumni[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]When the Lethbridge Broncos returned to their original home in Swift Current following the 1985\u201386 season, hockey fans in Lethbridge did not have to wait long for a new team; after just one year out of the WHL, Lethbridge returned to the WHL in 1987\u201388 when the Calgary Wranglers moved south to become the Hurricanes.The team’s crowning achievement came in 1996\u201397, when the Hurricanes captured their first, and to date only, WHL Championship.  The Hurricanes then finished 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, in 1989\u201390 and 1990\u201391) and the regular season title. In the 2007\u201308 season, the Hurricanes won the Eastern Conference Championship.[1]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The team changed its logo for the 2013\u201314 season per requests from the National Hockey League’s Washington Capitals, who claim the former Hurricanes\u2019 logo was too similar to theirs.[2] Despite the optimism going into the season under new head coach Drake Berehowsky, who replaced the fired Rich Preston, the 2013\u201314 season would be a record-setting one, but in the wrong categories; the team stumbled out of the gate and dealt with turmoil amongst the players and coaching staff. Some notable occurrences saw veteran forwards Sam McKechnie and Jaimen Yakuboski sent home until both players were dealt to the Seattle Thunderbirds in October.[3] A week later, third year defenseman Ryan Pilon requested a trade and left the team.[4] Pilon got his wish and was dealt to the Brandon Wheat Kings in a multiplayer deal shortly afterwards.[5] In addition to two more players requesting trades, the team endured a public relations nightmare when Assistant Coach Brad Lukowich walked out on the team following a 3\u20132 victory over the Prince Albert Raiders. Lukowich was terminated “with cause” days later.[6] The team hit new lows by scoring a franchise-low 171 goals, allowing 358 goals and earned notoriety by losing two games by a combined score of 22\u20130; the first humiliation was a 10\u20130 loss to the Vancouver Giants on January 24, 2014, followed by a 12\u20130 loss to the Edmonton Oil Kings on February 17. The team capped off the season on a 15-game losing streak, finishing the year at 12\u201355\u20132\u20133 with 29 points, the League’s lowest point total, placing them in last place in the entire WHL. The 12 wins and 29 points also set records for fewest wins and fewest points in the 26-year history of the Lethbridge Hurricanes, and the 46-year history of the franchise that began as the Winnipeg Jets.In 2014, the community-owned franchise faced serious financial problems, which came to light. The team lost upwards of $1.25 million in a two-year period[7] and went as far as scaling back on their marketing campaigns and player accommodations on road trips. In March 2014, the team revealed it took out a line of credit in order to meet financial goals.[8] The financial situation of the team led to internet rumours of the team being sold to True North Sports and Entertainment and relocated to Winnipeg,[9] while former Hurricanes forward and Lethbridge native Kris Versteeg has publicly stated his desire to purchase the team and keep it in the city.[10]  As the losses continued to pile up and the fan interest waned, the team fired head coach Drake Berehowsky on December 9 and general manager Brad Robson on December 10, and hired former Prince Albert Raiders head coach Peter Anholt to both positions that day.Anholt stepped down as coach, but stayed on as general manager, and hired 33-year-old Brent Kisio away from the Calgary Hitmen as the team’s new head coach.Under Kisio, the team’s on-ice performance improved considerably as it returned to contender status.Season-by-season record[edit]Note: GP = Games played, W = Wins, L = Losses, T = Ties, OTL = Overtime losses, GF = Goals for, GA = Goals againstSeasonGPWLTOTLGFGA PointsFinishPlayoffs1987\u2013887220484\u2014257357447th EastOut of playoffs1988\u2013897227396\u2014356380605th EastLost East division semi-final1989\u2013907251174\u20144652701061st EastLost WHL final1990\u2013917245216\u2014373281961st EastLost WHL final1991\u2013927239312\u2014350284804th EastLost in first round1992\u2013937233363\u2014317328695th EastLost in first round1993\u2013947235325\u2014306317753rd EastLost East division semi-final1994\u2013957222482\u2014263341468th EastOut of playoffs1995\u2013967233363\u2014259270692nd CentralLost in first round1996\u2013977247223\u2014342248971st CentralWon Championship;
