Wichita Falls Wildcats

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wichita Falls Wildcats are a Junior A ice hockey team in the North American Hockey League's South Division. Originally known as the Wichita Falls Rustlers (and before this, the Butte Irish of Butte, Montana), the franchise was a part of the America West Hockey League prior to 2003, and became an NAHL team after the two leagues merged. The Wildcats play out of the Kay Yeager Coliseum in Wichita Falls, Texas. Current coaches of the team are head coach Brian Meisner and acting assistant coach Bryan "Moose" Panik.

The team's games are broadcast on Wichita Falls' KOLI 94.9 FM ("The Outlaw") and over the internet on the team's official site. Commentators are "Slapshot Steve" Miller, Jim "The Beast" Beason, and Drew "The Schwab" Pelto.
