History
[edit]The Casper Warbirds [1] were founded in 2024,[2] originating in Provo, Utah. The move to Casper, Wyoming, was part of a strategic plan led by Christopher W. Reaves, Governor of the team and experienced entrepreneur.[3] Reaves aimed to elevate the sports and entertainment scene in Casper, hoping to transform it into a hub for high-level sports and community engagement. To accomplish this, he reached out to the community to ensure they were part of the team's identity and success. The community was actively involved in naming the team,[4] [5] designing the logo,[6] and selecting the mascot. The team's name, "Warbirds," pays homage to Major Gale Cleven, also known as Buck, an Air Force pilot from Wyoming who flew bombers during World War II.[7] [8] The team's mascot, Bucky the Warbird,[9] is inspired by Buck's legacy and represents the team's fighting spirit and resilience.
Community Engagement

[edit]The Casper Squadron is a group of energetic individuals who represent Casper Warbirds hockey. They entertain the crowd at home games with flags and signs and engage with fans. The Squadron also serves as brand ambassadors in the community, attending watch parties and team events to promote the game of hockey.
