History

A charter member of the Western Canada Junior Hockey League, the franchise was known in its first season as the Calgary Buffaloes before becoming the Centennials in 1967-68.

The franchise had a string of successful regular seasons in the early 1970s, winning three West division titles, however playoff success never followed. The Centennials only reached the WCHL finals once, falling in four straight to the Regina Pats in 1974. The Regina Pats are a junior hockey team that plays in the Western Hockey League. ...

Following the 1976-77 season, the Centennials were sold and relocated to Billings, Montana and became the Billings Bighorns. The franchise today is defunct, having folded in Billings in 1982. Calgarians would not have to wait long for another team, as the Winnipeg Monarchs were immediately sold and relocated to Calgary to become the Calgary Wranglers.
