The Tulsa Oilers are a professional ice hockey team in the ECHL, formerly in the Central Hockey League. They played their home games at the Maxwell Center (also known as Cox Business Center) until 2008, when they moved into the new BOK Center. For many years, the Tulsa Oilers name was shared with Tulsa's former minor-league baseball team that pre-dated the Tulsa Drillers. To reduce confusion in local news reporting, the hockey team was often called the "Ice Oilers", a moniker that continues to this day among many Tulsans.

| - The Tulsa Oilers are a professional ice hockey team in the ECHL, formerly in the Central Hockey League. They played their home games at the Maxwell Center (also known as Cox Business Center) until 2008, when they moved into the new BOK Center. For many years, the Tulsa Oilers name was shared with Tulsa's former minor-league baseball team that pre-dated the Tulsa Drillers. To reduce confusion in local news reporting, the hockey team was often called the "Ice Oilers", a moniker that continues to this day among many Tulsans. The Oilers were one of only two teams that played each season in the CHL since its rebirth in 1992 (the other being the Wichita Thunder) . The Oilers have a winning tradition, making the playoffs in nine of their 13 seasons. Owner Jeff Lund played an integral part of assembling the 1992-93 team, a scrappy bunch led by veteran minor league coach and former NHL ironman Garry Unger. The team, anchored by high-scoring forward Sylvain Naud and veteran goalie Tony Martino, finished the regular season in second place, right behind intrastate rival Oklahoma City. However, in the revived league's first championship series the Oilers handily defeated the Blazers, clinching the title on OKC's home ice. Lund assumed ownership of the franchise in February 1999 after being the team's General Manager. Under Lund's direction, over two million fans have attended an Oilers game at the Tulsa Convention Center. Lund currently sits on the CHL Executive Committee. The Central Hockey Leagues website announced on June 25, 2013 that Jeff Lund sold the franchise to Steven Brothers Sports Management, LLC. They are also the owners of the Wichita Thunder. On October 7th, 2014 the Oilers announced on their website that they had been accepted as a new expansion team into the ECHL, as had the rest of the remaining franchises that were in the Central Hockey League. They were placed in the Central Division (along with the rest of the old CHL franchises) of the Western Conference.
