WICHITA, Kan. (July 2) – The Wichita Thunder, ECHL affiliate of the NHL's Edmonton Oilers, AHL's Bakersfield Condors and powered by Toyota, are excited to announce that forward Anthony Beauregard has been selected as the Wichita Professional Athlete of the Year.
He was honored last night at the 23rd Annual Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission Sports Banquet. Player/Assistant Coach Stefan Fournier was on hand to accept the award on Beauregard's behalf.

He appeared in 62 of the Thunder's 71 games during the regular season. Wichita was 37-17-8 when Beauregard was in the lineup and 4-5-0 when he was out.
The Thunder opens their 30th anniversary season on Friday, October 22 against the Allen Americans.
