Wichita Thunder To Change Team Name for Special Night In January
Briefly

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.
