The 1993–94 Wichita Thunder season was the second season of the CHL franchise in Wichita, Kansas. The season was pivotal for the Wichita Thunder, which went "from worst to first" in the league, winning both the regular season and post-season titles. It was the first CHL club to do so since the Indianapolis Checkers in 1982–1983. The team swept the championship series, winning all 4 games against the Tulsa Oilers. Paul Jackson finished as the league's leading scorer; Ron Handy was the play-off MVP; and goaltender Bobby Desjardins was MVP for the league.
