The 2009–10 Wichita Thunder season was the 18th season of the CHL franchise in Wichita, Kansas. After playing for 17 years in the Kansas Coliseum, the Thunder moved into its new home in the Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, on January 23, 2010. Playing in front of a sell-out crowd of 13,412, the Thunder lost 2–1 to the Tulsa Oilers in its Intrust Bank Arena debut. Finishing the season with only 9 victories, it was one of the worst seasons in Central Hockey League history.
