2018 is the 90th Anniversary of the first Tulsa Oilers team that competed in the American Hockey Association in 1928. Throughout the years since, the Oilers have competed in the United States Hockey League, Central Professional Hockey League and Central Hockey League before joining the ECHL in 2014. The 2018-19 season is the 67th season of Tulsa Oilers pro hockey.
Tulsa qualified for the playoffs in its first ECHL season in 2014-15, but is looking for its first Kelly Cup playoff berth since. The Oilers are coached by Rob Murray, who is in his second year in Tulsa after leading the Alaska Aces for six seasons. The modern-day Oilers franchise was born in 1992 and won the CHL's Memorial Cup championship in its first season. Since 2008, the Oilers have called the 17,000-seat BOK Center home.
