[edit] History
Originally formed as the Perth Breakers in 1988, and were quite successful under that moniker. The Breakers appeared in the WNBL finals from 1991-1996, winning a championship in 1992. After missing the finals in 1997, the Breakers appeared in three more finals campaigns over the next three years. However, since 2000, Perth has not appeared in the WNBL finals [1].
In 2002, the Perth Breakers were re-branded as the "Perth Lynx", and as of yet have not seen much success.
