About the Tulsa Oilers at BOK Center
The Tulsa Oilers are a member of the ECHL, a mid-level professional hockey league. The team plays at the Bank of Oklahoma Center, located right in Tulsa, just east of Interstate 244. The capacity of the BOK Center is over 17,000 for hockey games, and besides the Oilers, the complex hosts arena football matches, basketball games and concerts. The arena is a stunning structure, and the flagship project of Tulsa County's Vision 2025 development initiative. The Oilers are affiliated with the San Diego Gulls of the American Hockey League (AHL) and the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Despite the suspended 2019-20 season, the Oilers remain one of the top teams in the ECHL, making it all the way to the Conference Finals in 2018-19 before being ousted in seven games by the Toledo Walleye. Fans at the stadium can expect a luxury experience, with 14 concession outlets spread across the arena, seven of which host restaurants and establishments local to the Tulsa area. Additionally, the interior hallways are lined with art and artifacts, some paying tribute to the rich Native American past of Oklahoma.
Tulsa Oilers Background
The Tulsa Oilers have been operating in some capacity since 1928, when they joined the five-team American Hockey Association. Hockey Hall of Famer Clint Smith played the 1947-48 season with the Tulsa Oilers after a career in the NHL with the New York Rangers and Chicago Black Hawks. From 1964 to 1984, the Oilers were a member of the Central Hockey League (CHL), where they were champions in 1968, 1976 and 1984. After the league folded, the Oilers joined a newly formed CHL in 1992, where they remained until 2014, when they moved to the ECHL as part of a group of expansion teams. In 2015, the Oilers were affiliated with the Manitoba Moose of the AHL and the Winnipeg Jets of the NHL, and later with the St. Louis Blues of the NHL. The Oilers’ three-year deal with the Anaheim Ducks and San Diego Gulls began during the 2020-21 season.
Took my daughter. We had a great time. Excited to do it again.
It was our first ever hockey game. We had awsome seats and the whole family had a blast! I would recommend this to anyone wanting to have a good family outing!
We had a great time at the oilers game. We always sit right on the glass and enjoy the fights and people getting slammed against the wall. We go every chance we get.
We always have a lot of fun! I was sad dip and dots were closed. That's what I always get at the games. There was a technical difficulty I think with the sound system which cause an annoying ringing to go off for like 5 minutes. But overall we had fun!
We had a blast at the game Friday night. Loved the speed and accuracy of our team! Enjoyed watching them slam into the glass and those fights on the ice are always great! But most important WE WON!!! and we'll come back for more! A fantastic evening out!
Tulsa Oilers hockey is always worth the time and tickets - the games themselves are more than enough, but the organization goes to great lengths to make sure there's always something going on to keep kids engaged, your eyes and ears involved.
This was my 1st Oilers game. Loved it! The game and atmosphere was amazing.
It was a great game. The only thing I would like to see is a much better seating chart for the BOK Center. I was looking to sit in a specific location and while I was close, it would've been of much greater help in choosing my seats.
I will definitely be back . Was the best experience ever. Everybody was very nice and the building was extremely clean . Loved it !!
The game was great and we enjoyed it greatly!! Would DEFINITELY go again!!
Had an excellent time at the game. Great seats in section 121. Oilers lost but that is Sport for you. Will definitely go again. Made for a great date night with the wife.
Very amazing event! Front Row Seats! Go see Hockey
Our kids loved the event and so did we. Want to become season ticket holders, because it was so much fun.
Totally Awesome Experience!!! This was my first hockey game ever and I shared this moment on Valentines Day with my fiancé! The whole time I was there was never a dull moment! Exciting the whole night! I believe now that hockey is my favorite sport!!!
We had excellent seats. It was a great hockey game. So much funnn! Thank you ticketmaster!
The venue was good, and the action was great. Unfortunately, if you were not a hockey expert or player--with intimate knowledge of the officials' signals--the experience lacked the necessary information flow from the ice to the fan. The announcer told us which player scored each goal and at what time, information that even a first timer could have figured out by paying attention and looking at the clock. That was about it. There was rarely any explanation for a whistle. (Was it icing or something more?) There was no explanation of what penalties were enforced after a fight and rarely at any other time. At one point, it appeared that someone was ejected, but who knows? They wouldn't tell us. Also, there was not enough hockey and way too much of everything else. Every time I looked to the scoreboard to see what had just happened, there was an ad being shown instead of the play--less than one second after the whistle. The only exception was goals. If they had covered the rest of the game the way they covered goals, it would have been a great experience.
We were squished on an end near the goal. I had these people who would not sit down beside me. They wanted up and out almost every fifteen minutes. From the seats you couldn't see anything except the goal plays. If you wanted something that the "ice girls" threw you were out of luck. I was in section 105 rows j seats 13&14. Will not buy tickets again. Even though the event itself was ok....the seats were horrible and I ended up leaving after the first quarter.
Have been wanting to go out to an Oilers game all year and I was not disappointed. I definitely will be seeing them play again.
Loved the arena. Great accommodations! Only improvement I could Suggest is better commentary.
