The Rogue Valley Wranglers are a hockey team playing in the Pacific Division of the Northern Pacific Hockey League (NORPAC). The league is a Tier III Junior A league. The 2007-08 season was the inaugural season for the Wranglers who play their home games at The RRRink in Medford, Oregon.

[edit] History

On May 25, 2007 it was announced by the Northern Pacific Hockey League that two expansion teams would begin play during the 2007-08 season, those two teams were the Missoula Maulers and the Rogue Valley Wranglers. ^[1] When the Wranglers franchise was announced the Northern Pacific Hockey League was a Junior B Hockey League, however on July 17, 2007 it was announced that the league would be granted Junior A Tier III status, thus raising the Wranglers from a Junior B team to a Junior A Tier III team. ^[2] Also on July 17, the Wranglers announced the signing of their first player, Robert Reiber, who has since been traded to the Eugene Generals. ^{[3] [4]}

The Wranglers began the 2007-08 season, their first, with 25 straight losses, nearly winning two games against the eventual 5th place finishers, Puget Sound, just weeks into their first season. Unfortunately, the Wranglers were not able to secure their first win until December 7, 2007, by defeating the Coeur d'Alene Lakers 4-2. Rogue Valley did not have to wait long for their second win as they defeated Coeur d'Alene in a game on the following day, 7-4. The Wranglers finished the second half of the 2007-08 season much like they began, losing 20 of their final 21 games, winning the final game of the season against a familiar opponent, Coeur d'Alene, by a score of 5-2. ^[5]
