Embarking on a journey
• Financial responsibility
• Build a winner
• Inspired players make for inspired teams that deliver high level consumer experiences
• Let Shareholders and other Stakeholders know what they can do to help! They tell us they want to!
Financial ownership
• New budgeting process this year
• Instead of building off of last year’s expenses, we started with our historical revenues and cut our expenses as much as we could to try to get a balanced budget
• We are restricted in some areas, as we still need to deliver a top quality WHL experience for our players
Share sales
• There are two types of shares now available for purchase• Non-par value shares
• $100 per share• 1 vote per share
• Par value shares• $1,000 per shares• 1 vote per share• Guaranteed* to get money back if team sells• Option to redeem your share starts 5 years after
day of purchase
Why new class of shares?
• Redeemable after 5 years from date of purchase
• Balance out equity invested in team with the market value of the team
• Provide working capital and lower financing charges
• Show WHL that the community still supports this team
Strategic Planning
• Key to the success of our team is the concept of having a strong, manageable strategic plan.
• The B.O.D. in conjunction with the City of Lethbridge planning department have built a strong foundation for which all future decisions will be based.
• A strong strategic plan allows for framework to be followed regardless of who is on the board or who the President is.
Where we Have missed the mark
• Expenses (Personnel wages, score clock, league initiatives, miscellaneous office expenses)
• Ticket Revenue (attendance)
• Concession (We have $0 concession revenue)
• Suite Revenue (Only receive revenue from 7 suites)
• NHL draft money (Develop players)• Approximately 35-45 WHL players are drafted each
year
• Playoff Money
Our goals, assists by you
• Increase season ticket holders, up from 1300 (2014/15)
• Average attendance 4000+
• Significantly increase Share Sales (increase owner capital). Our goal = $500,000 - $1,000,000
• Sell advertising at the current pace (corporate support)
• Access Corporate support from Multi-nationals in Lethbridge
• Continue to organize internal finances (ownership)
• New revenue opportunities have been identified
What are you doing to get 4000 fans?

Conditioning Trainer/Sport Psych, Player personnel, and a new Head Coach
