Oklahoma City Blazers News Release


Oklahoma City, Okla. – The Oklahoma City Blazers of the Central Hockey League signed former Tulsa Oilers forward Pat Hallett, head coach Doug Sauter announced today.

Hallett, a 6-2, 204-pound native of Fairbanks, Alaska will be entering his third season as a professional. The 27-year old last played during the 2002-03 season with the Tulsa Oilers where he recorded 44 points (22-22-44) and served 122 penalty minutes in 62 games. In 120 games as a professional, Hallett has scored 93 points (50-43-93) and served 205 penalty minutes. In 18 games against Oklahoma City, he recorded 20 points (11-9-20), including 16 (8-8-16) during the 2002-03 campaign.

Prior to turning pro, Hallett skated with the University of Alaska-Fairbanks for four seasons. In 127 collegiate games, he amassed 42 points (21-21-42) while serving 171 penalty minutes.

Hallett will wear number 13 as a member of the Blazers. He will be the first player in franchise history to don the well-known number. The Blazers will begin its 13th season of play in the CHL in October.

"This is a crucial signing for us," said Sauter. "Hallett is a player who has proven that he can score goals, play physical if he needs to, but more importantly, he shows up every night to play. His hard work and ability to score will be an asset for our hockey club."

"I'm excited to be a part of this organization," said Hallett. "I couldn't believe that the Blazers were interested in having me come to Oklahoma City to play. Having played in Tulsa for two seasons, I am familiar with the facility in Oklahoma City and the great fan support of the team. I'm pumped to play in Oklahoma City for the Blazers."

The addition of Hallett brings the number of players signed by the Blazers for the 04-05 season to 11.

Oklahoma City opens the 2004-05 season at home against the Colorado Eagles on October 22 at 7:35 p.m.

All 10 Friday night home games, including the season opener against Colorado and New Year's Eve against Topeka, are on sale for just $99. Full season ticket packages are also available.
