Season 23 VHL Entry Draft

Round 2, Pick 13: Andreas LaFontaine

 

The Season 23 Draft wasn't a strong one with just 2 HoF players. The Wranglers traded away 1st and 3rd round picks so they just had a 2nd round pick and used it on Andreas LaFontaine.

 

Season 24 Regular Season - 72 GP | 20 W | 47 L | 5 OTL | 45 P | 121 GF | 271 GA

After winning the Season 23 Continental Cup, the Calgary Wranglers went into a rebuild and sold off what they could since Jardy Bunclewirth was retiring. The Wranglers fell in the standings to 3rd in the NA standings with just 45 points. They sold off a majority of their roster during the season as the rebuild was in full swing. The Wranglers missed the playoffs by 30 points but I am sure management didn't care too much since the team had just won their VHL leading 6th Continental Cup.

 

The leading scorer on the team was Lars Intranquilo, yes the shutdown defensive defenseman ended up leading the team in scoring with 40 points. Derek Boogaard technically led the team in scoring with a combined 43 points in 3 stops during the season but only 10 of those points came with the Wranglers. The 2nd leading scorer to spend the whole season in Calgary was Jeff Dar, yes another defensive defenseman with 32 points. That should tell you exactly what kind of season the Wranglers had. Goaltender *redacted* had a very tough season with a 1-30-1 record which included a 0.846 save percentage and a 5.47 G.A.A.

 

Season 24 Playoffs - N/A

The Calgary Wranglers didn't qualify for the playoffs in Season 24.

 

Trades:

Not available until Season 35

 

Awards:

No Wranglers won any awards in Season 24.

 

Overall:

After a quik rebuild that lasted 2 seasons, the Wranglers entered another one after winning the Cup. This, the first season, of the rebuild went as expected, missing the playoffs in hopes of a high draft pick. The team was torn down to bare bones as no one scored more than 43 points and the goaltender had a 1-30-1 record and barely stopped 85 percent of the shots. If this rebuild is anything like the last, it won't be very long. The Calgary Wranglers aren't known for long rebuild if their first 23 seasons tell us anything.

 

Lars Intranquilo climbs into top 5 in team career regular season scoring with 225 points which is 5th. He is one of only 5 players to reach 200 career points in  a Wrangler uniform since Season 20. Lars also leads the team in PIM, one of only 2 players to reach 1000 hits and is the leader in shots blocked with 565.
