Oklahoma City Barons News Release


Oklahoma City - The Oklahoma City Barons, American Hockey League affiliate of the Edmonton Oilers, released a list of opponents the club will play during the 2010-11 hockey season today.

As expected, Oklahoma City will play a substantial portion of its games against its closest opponents. The Barons will play 10 games each against the Texas Stars, Houston Aeros and San Antonio Rampage. Oklahoma City will play 13 of the 14 other teams in the Western Conference during the season, but will not play any teams from the Eastern Conference. (see breakdown of opponents below)

The AHL provides each team with a balanced schedule meaning for each game Oklahoma City hosts an opponent, the Barons will travel to that city. The Barons will play the Chicago Wolves and Peoria Rivermen eight times each, while playing the Rockford IceHogs, Lake Erie Monsters and Milwaukee Admirals six times each. A complete schedule is expected to be released in August.
