I've just completed my second book. This one is on the Lethbridge Hurricanes. It can be purchased on Amazon, at the Lethbridge Hurricanes gift shop or at Analog Books.

For nearly four decades, the Lethbridge Hurricanes have been woven into the fabric of their community. This book focuses on where it all began—the franchise’s first 10 years, a remarkable era that shaped everything that followed.

Those early seasons were defined by extremes. After two years of struggle, the Hurricanes surged to become one of the Western Hockey League’s most compelling teams, making two trips to the WHL final and capturing a league championship. It was a decade marked by adversity, resilience, and ultimately, success—arguably the most unforgettable period of junior hockey the city has ever known.

The story begins before the team ever arrived in Lethbridge. Tracing the franchise’s roots from Winnipeg to Calgary, the book explores the circumstances that led to community ownership in Lethbridge in 1987, setting the stage for the birth of the Hurricanes.

Each of the first 10 seasons is examined in depth, highlighting the players, coaches, and managers who defined the era. Drawing on interviews with those who lived it, the book brings these years to life through firsthand accounts of early hockey dreams, pivotal moments, and life beyond the rink.

The final chapter offers a reflective overview of the 30 years that followed—the highs and lows, the challenges faced, and the ongoing pursuit of another WHL championship—making this book an essential read for Hurricanes fans and hockey historians alike.
