2002–03 Wichita Thunder season

The 2002–03 Wichita Thunder season was the 11th season of the CHL franchise in Wichita, Kansas. It was Derek Laxdal's first season as coach.[1] The Thunder had a promising start to the season, fell apart mid-way through, and improved to 8–7 in its final 15 games.[1] Nevertheless, the team finished 21–26–7, recording its fewest wins in the history of the club.[1]

In March 2003, Tom Gomes was honored as the Central Hockey League player of the month.[2]
