The Wranglers joined the league in 2013 as a relocated team. The franchise originally started as the Summerland Sting in 2001, then relocated to Penticton as the Penticton Lakers in 2009. The Lakers' short-lived era would come to an end when they relocated prior to the 2013-14 season to 100 Mile House to become the Wranglers. In its short KIJHL history, the team has won the Keystone Cup, the Cyclone Taylor Cup and the KIJHL Championship once, in 2016. They won one division playoff title as a member of the Doug Birks Division from 2013-2023 and one conference playoff title as a member of the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference from 2013-2023.

Team history

[edit]

2001–09: Summerland Sting

[edit]

The start of the new expansion franchise saw the Sting finish third in the Okanagan Shuswap Division in their first year (2001-02 season) and lost to the Revelstoke Grizzlies, 0-4 in the Division Semifinals. In the Sting's eight-year existence, they never advanced past the second round. Due to poor records and attendance, they were relocated prior to the start of the 2009-10 season to Penticton, to become the Penticton Lakers.

2009–2013: Penticton Lakers

[edit]

The newly relocated Lakers finished 6th in the Okanagan Division (2009-10 season) and lost 0-3, to the Sicamous Eagles, in the Division Semifinals. The Lakers failed to advance to the Division Finals (second round) in their three-year existence and were eventually relocated to 100 Mile House, to become the Wranglers, because of poor results and attendance.

2013–present: 100 Mile House Wranglers

[edit]

2013-14

The Wranglers finished third in the Doug Birks Division as a new relocated team, consequently making the playoffs in their first year in the KIJHL, facing the second seeded-team in their division, the Chase Heat; whom they defeated 4-1 in the opening round. The Wranglers would go on to be swept in the second round by the Kamloops Storm.

2014-15

In the 2014-2015 season, the Wranglers' second, they finished third in their division again and also faced the Heat for the second consecutive time in the Division Semifinals. 100 Mile House would defeat the Heat in six games before losing in the second round to the Kamloops Storm, this time in five games.

2015-16

In the 2015-16 season, the Wranglers' third, they finished atop the Doug Birks Division and would go on to the KIJHL final by way of defeating the Revelstoke Grizzlies, the Chase Heat and the Summerland Steam. Representing the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference, the Wranglers would take down the defending KI champion Kimberley Dynamiters in just five games.

100 Mile House then went on to compete in the 2016 Cyclone Taylor Cup in Victoria, BC against the host Victoria Cougars, the Campbell River Storm (VIJHL) and the Mission City Outlaws (PJHL). The Wranglers defeated the Cougars in the gold medal game by a final score of 5-4 on April 10.

On April 17, 100 Mile House defeated the Quakers by a final score of 3-2 to claim their first ever Keystone Cup.
