East Coast Hockey League - Las Vegas Wranglers

Las Vegas Wranglers Unveil New Logo

Las Vegas, Nevada - With the ice surface of the soon-to-be-completed Orleans Arena serving as a backdrop, the Las Vegas Wranglers unveiled a new logo and color scheme for their 2003-04 inaugural season.

The Wranglers logo features a red, black, and silver color scheme with a hockey stick carrying ‘Wrangler' mounted on a bull. Wranglers officials say the logo reflects a new look for the Wranglers move to the soon-to-be-renamed East Coast Hockey League.

"It's an exciting look for the Las Vegas Wranglers," said Wranglers vice president Billy Johnson. "This icon will soon come to represent action-packed and affordable family entertainment for Las Vegas locals."

Members of the West Coast Hockey League's Bakersfield Condors were on hand to try out the Orleans Arena ice surface including Minnesota Wild camp invitee Jonas Lennartsson and IHL veteran Guy Dupuis.

The Condors, who were in town to prepare for their upcoming West Coast Hockey League post season run, will join the Las Vegas Wranglers in the East Coast Hockey League during the summer of 2003. With over 200 players who have gone on to the NHL, the ECHL has established its reputation as a premier developmental league for professional hockey. Among active NHL players are ECHL alumni Olaf Kolzig, Patrick Lalime, and Eric Boguniecki.

The Las Vegas Wranglers will play a 36-game home schedule in the 7,000 seat state-of-the-art Orleans Arena beginning in October 2003.
