Amarillo Wranglers (1975–1977)

The Wranglers were established by Las Vegas businessman Ralph Engelstad, founder of the Southwest Hockey League.

[3] The Amarillo Wranglers were Southwest League Champions for the 1975-1976 season under Coach Cal Swenson.

The Wranglers underwent reorganization and briefly played as the Amarillo Lone Stars beginning in December 1976.

At the NAHL Amarillo Bulls final home game in 2013, the Wranglers were heralded as the city’s first hockey champions.

A banner is now on display in the Amarillo Civic Center commemorating the Wranglers’ championship season.
