TULSA, OK - For the first time in nearly a month, the Tulsa Oilers will return to the ice at the BOK Center this weekend for a set of three games in three days as they continue to push for a spot in the ECHL Playoffs.
The Oilers begin the home stand on Friday night at 7:35 p.m. against the rival Wichita Thunder in the tenth meeting of the season in the StoneWolf Casino Cup Series. Saturday, the Oilers face off against the Brampton Beast on Budweiser Military Night presented by Oklahoma National Guard and benefiting the Folds of Honor Foundation. As a tribute to veterans of the armed forces and all those who currently serve to defend freedom, the Oilers will wear special patriotic jerseys. After the game, the jerseys will be auctioned off at the ONEOK Club with proceeds going to support the mission of Folds of Honor.
Founded in 2007 by Major Dan Rooney of the Oklahoma Air National Guard, Folds of Honor provides scholarships and assistance to spouses and children of those killed or wounded in service to the United States. In the last eight years, Folds of Honor has awarded more than 7,500 scholarships and the Oilers are proud to partner with Folds of Honor for a third consecutive season.
