Tulsa Oilers News Release


Some familiar voices will greet Tulsa Oiler fans who listen to the team's two Central Hockey League games this weekend.

Former Oiler player and coach Larry McIntyre will provide the color commentary for Friday's home game against the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs and former defenseman Tom Karalis will handle the duties Saturday when the Oilers host the Wichita Thunder. Both games start at 7:35 at the BOK Center and can be heard via the internet at www.tulsaoilers.com.

While familiar names will be behind the mic, a new face will be on the ice. Oiler coach Dan Hodge has added right wing Jozef Budaj (pronounced BOO-die) to the roster. In order to make room for Budaj, the Oilers waived Jeff McDowall. Budaj's younger brother Peter is a goaltender for the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League.

"We think Josef will come in and give some spark to our offense," Hodge said. "He's a skilled player."

Season tickets for the Oilers 2008-09 season in the new BOK Center are available by calling the Oilers at (918) 632-PUCK (7825). Individual game tickets are available at the BOK Center box office, area Reasor's and Homeland Stores or by calling toll free 866-7-BOK-CTR (726-5287)
