history
The Wichita Thunder was founded in 1992 as a franchise of the Central Hockey League , of which they were one of the six founding members. After missing the playoffs in their first season, the Wichita Thunder won the Miron Cup twice in a row in 1994 and 1995 . First they defeated the Tulsa Oilers in the 1993/94 season in the best-of-seven series with a sweep , before they beat the San Antonio Iguanas 4-2 wins in the 1994/95 season . In the 1997/98 season, the Thunder moved for the third time in the playoff final, in which they clearly defeated the Columbus Cottonmouths 4-0. In the period that followed, the team was unable to continue their initial successes and has not since made it past the second playoff round.
On October 7, 2014, the Thunder and the other six remaining CHL participants were accepted into the ECHL . The CHL's game operations were discontinued due to fewer teams.
