Current season

The Calgary Wranglers are a professional ice hockey team based in Calgary. They are members of the Pacific Division in the Western Conference of the American Hockey League (AHL). The Wranglers began play in the 2022–23 AHL season. The team plays at the Scotiabank Saddledome, the home of their National Hockey League (NHL) affiliate team, the Calgary Flames.

History

On May 23, 2022, the Calgary Flames announced the relocation of the Stockton Heat to Calgary.^[1] This followed a recent trend of Canadian NHL teams moving their AHL affiliates closer to home, principally to allow for players to be called up on a shorter notice. On August 2, 2022, the team announced its name, bringing back the "Wranglers" moniker used by the WHL team of the same name from 1977 to 1987.^[2] The Wranglers played their first game on October 16, 2022, a 6–5 loss against the Coachella Valley Firebirds.^[3][4]

Despite a slow start to the season,^[5] the Wranglers enjoyed significant success in their inaugural year, capturing the regular season championship with 51 wins, and being awarded the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy.^[6] Their overall 51–17–4 record was the ninth-best record in AHL history.^[6]

The Wranglers failed to live up to their regular season success during the 2023 Calder Cup playoffs, losing to the Firebirds 3 games to 2 in the third round.^[7]
