The Wichita professional hockey franchise, originally named Thunder, will officially change its name to the Plainsmen on January 4, 2025, reflecting its regional identity.
The name Plainsmen signifies a connection to the Great Plains, emphasizing Kansas's agricultural heritage and its identity as America's breadbasket, ideally suited for the team's renaming.
This year, during #ILOVEWICHITA Night, the Plainsmen will face the Iowa Heartlanders, with hopes of a victorious outcome following last season's loss to the Allen Americans.
With its lineage, the team Thunder celebrated past successes, including back-to-back President's Cup championships in the CHL, combining the legacy of competitiveness with a fresh identity.
