Strathmore hockey team showcases humourous side with April Fools' Day post

To celebrate April Fools' Day, the Agra Risk Wheatland Kings created a humorous post on social media.

The post claimed that the Western Hockey League (WHL) would be granting an expansion franchise to the Kings for the upcoming season.

"The Wheatland Kings will be eligible to make WHL transactions starting April 1, 2025," wrote the Kings in the April Fools' Day post.

The post received positive feedback from fans, with one resident jokingly congratulating the team for making it into the WHL.

It's an annual custom on April 1 to partake in practical jokes and hoaxes, with several other local groups making their own April Fools' Day posts, including the Town of Strathmore and Travel Drumheller.
