Yes. When the Calgary Centennials moved to Billings, Winnipeg's club moved to Calgary and became the Wranglers. That would have been 1977 or 78. The OHL has had some musical chair routines in the past as well. I think the St. Mikes Majors may have moved into Mississauga a couple years ago in the same off-season as the old team went elsewhere.

Also, the Wranlgers became the Hurricanes in 1987, one year after the Broncos left Lethbridge to return to Swift Current. So if the Canes go back to Winnipeg, it would be a franchise coming full circle.
