[edit] History

On May 25, 2007 it was announced by the Northern Pacific Hockey League that two expansion teams would begin play during the 2007-08 season, those two teams were the Missoula Maulers and the Rogue Valley Wranglers. [1] When the Wranglers franchise was announced the Northern Pacific Hockey League was a Junior B Hockey League, however on July 17, 2007 it was announced that the league would be granted Junior A Tier III status, thus raising the Wranglers from a Junior B team to a Junior A Tier III team. [2] Also on July 17, the Wranglers announced the signing of their first player, Robert Reiber, who has since been traded to the Eugene Generals. [3][4]

The Wranglers began the 2007-08 season, their first, with 25 straight losses, most notably a 23-1 loss to the Seattle Totems on Sat, Nov 17. Unfortunately, the Wranglers were not able to secure their first win until December 7, 2007, by defeating the Coeur d'Alene Lakers 4-2. Rogue Valley did not have to wait long for their second win as they defeated Coeur d'Alene in a game on the following day, 7-4. The Wranglers finished the second half of the 2007-08 season much like they began, losing 20 of their final 21 games, winning the final game of the season against a familiar opponent, Coeur d'Alene, by a score of 5-2. [5]

On July 23, 2008, the Wranglers announced that it would host a Midget U18 tournament each year beginning in 2008. The first annual Rogue Valley Wranglers Cup is scheduled to begin on September 19 and play through the 21st.[6] Later in the summer of 2008, on August 20, the Wranglers and class-A professional hockey team Chi-Town Shooters of the All American Hockey League announced that Rogue Valley would act as a farm team for the Shooters. [7]
