The Broncos started out as the
Swift Current Broncos in
Swift Current, Saskatchewan, but moved to Lethbridge in 1974. The team had been losing money in Swift Current and the new
Lethbridge Sportsplex was beckoning for a team. The Broncos played in Lethbridge for twelve seasons, winning the
President's Cup in
1982–83. In the mid 1980s, the team came up for sale, and despite a large and loyal fanbase, the Broncos were bought by interests in Swift Current and moved back to their original home. Lethbridge was without WHL hockey for only one season however, as the
Calgary Wranglers moved to the city, becoming the
Lethbridge Hurricanes in 1987. ==Season-by-season record==
