The 2024-25 season was a good one for the Lethbridge Hurricanes, not only for hockey results, but also for business.
That is according to Terry Huisman, the team’s General Manager of Business Operations.
He announced at Monday’s annual general meeting that the Canes closed this past season with a $1,103,133 profit.
Huisman called it a “perfect storm” where everything seemed to line up.
Overall revenues were 31 per cent higher than what they had budgeted for. That includes a 37 per cent increase in ticket sales revenue over budget and 20 per cent higher advertising dollars.
The Hurricanes also received $666,667 in WHL expansion fees from the Penticton Vees.
The club advanced to the WHL’s Eastern Conference Final for the first time in several years this past season.
That helped, says
