The Drayton Valley Thunder is a Canadian Junior ice hockey team in the Alberta Junior Hockey League. The Thunder are members of the Canadian Junior Hockey League and are eligible to compete for the Western Canada Cup and Royal Bank Cup National Junior A Championship. They play in Drayton Valley, Alberta, Canada at the Drayton Valley Omni-Plex, capacity 1450.
The Drayton Valley Thunder were awarded as an expansion franchise in 1998, and began play in the South Division for the 1998-99 season. One year after finishing sixth in the South, ahead of only their expansion cousins the Crowsnest Pass Timberwolves, the Thunder rocketed up the standings, winning the South division in only their second season. Further expansion shifted the Thunder into the North Division in 2000-01, where they won another division title.
In 2002, only four years after being awarded the team, the Thunder captured the Rogers Wireless Cup as AJHL Champions. The Thunder fell to the Chilliwack Chiefs of the BCHL in the Doyle Cup Pacific Junior A Championship.
