Lethbridge Broncos
City	Lethbridge, Alberta
League	Western Hockey League
Existence	1974-86

The Lethbridge Broncos were an ice hockey team in the Western Hockey League. They started out as the Swift Current Broncos in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, but moved to Lethbridge in 1974. The team had been losing money in tiny 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 1980's, the team came up for sale, and despite a large and loyal fanbase, the Broncos were bought by local interests in Swift Current and moved back to their original home. Lethbridge was without WHL hockey for one season, and in 1987 the Calgary Wranglers moved to the city, becoming the Lethbridge Hurricanes.
