  • The Las Vegas Wranglers are a minor league ice hockey team. The Wranglers were originally to begin play in the West Coast Hockey League, but the WCHL merged with the ECHL before the beginning of the 2003-04 season. Home games are played at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. The Wranglers are the first and only team to hold a game that is played at midnight. The annual "Midnight Holiday Roundup" (the 'Holiday' part is so-called because it is held every December) was created so that Las Vegans who work during the usual game times (e.g. employees of the gaming industry), could watch a game. Other wacky Wranglers promotions have included the traditional mullet hat night and even a give away of orange vests that said "Don't Shoot...I'm Human!" during a game on March 17, 2006, a joke on the Dick Cheney hunting incident. The Wranglers are the first team in ECHL history to have three consecutive 100-point seasons. The Wranglers have been the ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League's (NHL) Calgary Flames and the American Hockey League's (AHL) Quad City Flames since the team's inaugural season in 2003. Under the terms of the affiliation agreement, up to nine Flames prospects can play for Las Vegas. The Wranglers play in the Pacific Division of the ECHL's National Conference and are one of the most prolific teams in ECHL history.

The Wranglers are one of the most prolific teams in ECHL history. The Wranglers have held many accolades over their seven year span, including having the highest winning percentage in ECHL history and hold seven ECHL records. The Wranglers have made one appearance to the Kelly Cup Finals and have won the Brabham Cup once and the Pacific Division title twice. Former Wranglers that have reached the National Hockey League include Brent Krahn, Adam Pardy, Dany Sabourin, Tyson Strachan, and Tyler Sloan. The Wranglers play their home games on the west side of the city at the Orleans Arena, which opened in 2003. The Wranglers had been the ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Calgary Flames since the team's inaugural season in 2003 until 2009 before announcing that they were switching their affiliation to the Phoenix Coyotes for the 2009–10 ECHL season. The Wranglers have garnered many accolades from the local media, including the Las Vegas Review-Journal naming the Wranglers "Best Local Sports Team" three times (2005, 2006, 2009) and head coach Glen Gulutzan "Best Local Coach" (2007, 2009).
