The Wranglers began the 2007-08 season, their first, with 25 straight losses, nearly winning two games against the eventual 5th place finishers, Puget Sound, just weeks into their first season. Unfortunately, the Wranglers were not able to secure their first win until December 7, 2007, by defeating the Coeur d'Alene Lakers 4-2. Rogue Valley did not have to wait long for their second win as they defeated Coeur d'Alene in a game on the following day, 7-4. The Wranglers finished the second half of the 2007-08 season much like they began, losing 20 of their final 21 games, winning the final game of the season against a familiar opponent, Coeur d'Alene, by a score of 5-2. cite web |title =Stats & Standings|url =http://www.thenphl.com/html/stats___standings.html|publisher =NPHL|accessdate =2007-12-09]
