It has nothing to do with fancy movie technology but Tulsa Oilers coach Bruce Ramsay is happy to be seeing in 3-D these days.
The Oilers have signed defensemen Derek Eastman, R.J. Linder and Sean Erickson for the 2010-11 Central Hockey League season. All three played for the Oilers last season.
‘This is a great nucleus for our blueline,” coach Bruce Ramsay said. “All three of these guys bring something special to the table.”
Eastman, 5-foot-10, 190 pounds will be the Oilers player assistant coach this coming season. In his first year in the CHL he was one of only two defenseman named to the league’s postseason all-CHL team. He led the league with six shorthanded assists and tied for fourth among defensemen in scoring with nine goals and 36 assists for 45 points in 63 games.
“Derek was a key player for us in all situations,” Ramsay said. “He obviously made an impression on the rest of the league to be voted onto the all league team.”
Linder saw his second cut short after 11 games with a knee injury. But at the time of his injury, he had four assists and led the Oilers at +11. The 6-foot-2, 195 pounder will be playing in his third season with the Oilers, but hard luck injuries have limited him to just 22 games over the previous two seasons.
“R.J. is the kind of player every coach would want on their team,” Ramsay said. “He’s had some tough luck with injuries and it was a blow when we lost him. Having him healthy for a full season will make a big difference for us.”
Erickson earned a spot on the CHL’s post season all-rookie team. At 6-foot, 175 pounds, he had five goals and 13 assists for 18 points, 15th among league rookies.
“Sean really developed as a solid all around player and became a good offensive threat for us as the season went along,” Ramsay said.
The Oilers had the second highest point total increase in the CHL this season under head coach Bruce Ramsay, who was in his first season with the Oilers. They will have 32 home games at the BOK Center in the 2010-11 season.
Season tickets for 2010-11 with plans for as low as $26 a month are now available by calling the Oilers office at 918-632-PUCK (7825).

When the heat hits its peak in July and August, kids can get some cool hockey lessons from the Tulsa Oilers.
Oilers players will be teaming up with Tulsa Youth Hockey Association for a “Learn to play Hockey Program” that will take place on four successive Saturdays starting July 17th at the Oilers Ice Center (64th and Mingo). The camps are for children 4 to 8 years old who have never played hockey with TYHA.
“This is grass roots hockey at the best and most fun level,” Oilers coach Bruce Ramsay said. “Teaching kids who’ve never played hockey how great of a game it is, is one of the things I’ve enjoyed most. I’m really looking forward to this and I know our players are too.”
Camp sessions will be from 4:15 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. TYHA provides protective equipment and rental skates at no charge for the camp. Equipment is limited and based on participation.
For more information on the camp, contact Eric Lawless and (918) 845-3345 or email him at lawless01@live.com or visit the TYHA website at www.tyha.com.

(Tempe, Arizona) – The Central Hockey League (CHL) today announced the participating teams that will compete in the league’s 19th season beginning on Friday, October 15, 2010.

Although some material matters still remain to be worked out with the International Hockey League (IHL), the CHL will welcome four teams from the IHL who will join 13 returning CHL teams for the 2010-11 season. The participating teams will compete in two conferences during the season. The four existing IHL markets will be the three-time defending Turner Cup Champion Fort Wayne Komets, the Bloomington PrairieThunder, the Dayton Gems and the Quad City Mallards.

“The CHL and IHL are working on all the logistics of this groundbreaking association between our two great leagues,” said Michael Franke, IHL Chairman of the Board. “Everything is moving along well and we are very excited about the end result that could be formally announced soon. It has been a complete pleasure working with the entire Central Hockey League.”

The 2009-10 season saw close to two million CHL fans walk through the turnstiles during the regular season and playoffs culminating with the Rapid City Rush winning the CHL’s Ray Miron Presidents’ Cup in just their second season as a franchise.

The returning CHL teams for the 2010-11 season are the Allen Americans, Arizona Sundogs, Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs, Colorado Eagles, Laredo Bucks, Mississippi RiverKings, Missouri Mavericks, Odessa Jackalopes, Rapid City Rush, Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees, Texas Brahmas, Tulsa Oilers and Wichita Thunder.

“The compilation of teams for the CHL’s 19th season couldn’t be better and we couldn’t have more momentum heading into the season,” said Duane Lewis, CHL Commissioner. “The new additions from the IHL will be welcomed with open arms and could make this upcoming season one of the most entertaining and competitive in our history. We can’t wait to drop the puck in October.”

Announcements regarding playoff format, conference alignment, additional cities for the 2010-11 season and other team related issues will be made in the very near future and the 2010-11 CHL regular season schedule is slated to be released in July.

Fans who will be attending the Tulsa Oilers Stanley Cup final watch parties at River Spirit Casino (81st and Riverside) now know one of the teams they will be watching.

The Chicago Blackhawks have earned their first trip to the Stanley Cup final since 1992, with a 4-2 win over the San Jose Sharks to complete a four game sweep in the Western Conference final. Chicago, which last won the Stanley Cup in 1961, will be trying to end the NHL’s longest Stanley Cup drought.

Chicago awaits the winner of the Eastern Conference final series between the Philadelphia Flyers and Montreal Canadiens. Philadelphia leads that best of seven series three games to one. The Eastern Conference final will end on Monday May 24, or Wednesday May 26 if Philadelphia wins either of those nights. If Montreal stretches the series to a seventh game, that will be played on Friday May 28.

The NHL has not yet released dates for the best of seven Stanley Cup final but the Oilers will be hosting watch parties for all games at the River Spirit Casino. This is the fifth straight year the Oilers have hosted watch parties. Fans are invited to watch the games with Oilers players, and staff members. Along with watching the Stanley Cup final, fans can win prizes from the Oilers and River Spirit.  

The Oilers had the second highest point total increase in the CHL this season under head coach Bruce Ramsay, who was in his first season with the Oilers. They will have 32 home games at the BOK Center in the 2010-11 season.
