The Thunderbirds entered the 2023 WHL playoffs as strong contenders and went on to capture the Ed Chynoweth Cup as league champions. Their championship win secured them a place in the 2023 Memorial Cup tournament, where they advanced to the final but were ultimately defeated by the Quebec Remparts.
