Tulsa Oilers News Release
TULSA, OK - The Tulsa Oilers and the Wichita Thunder, two of the original six franchises in the Central Hockey League, have the longest-running rivalry in CHL history. Today, the Oilers and Thunder announced that the winner of their 2013-14 regular season series will be awarded the StoneWolf Casino Cup presented by StoneWolf Casino.
Tulsa and Wichita will clash 14 times this season and the StoneWolf Casino Cup will be presented to the team with the most wins in the series. If the two clubs should each win seven games, the StoneWolf Casino Cup will go to the team that recorded the most points in the series and goal differential will be used as the final tiebreaker.

"Thanks to our outstanding partnership with StoneWolf Casino, we've created even more incentive for these two teams and another source of bragging rights for our fan bases."
The winning team will be presented with the StoneWolf Casino Cup on March 22, 2014 at INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita following the fourteenth and final meeting of the season between the Oilers and Thunder. The StoneWolf Casino Cup champions will keep possession of the trophy until the next season.
