Oilers Announce Adopt-An-Oiler Program

November 8, 2011 - Central Hockey League (CHL)
Tulsa Oilers News Release


TULSA, OK - Tulsa Oilers' General Manager Taylor Hall announced Tuesday details of the Adopt-An-Oiler program for the Central Hockey League (CHL) club's 2011-12 season. Fans will have the chance to "adopt" an Oilers player and receive special recognition throughout the 2011-12 season.

After the Oilers' home game on November 25, 2011 against the Wichita Thunder, the Oilers players will be auctioned off in a live auction for 18 Adopt-An-Oiler spots. On the night of the 25th, the adopting "families" will receive an autographed stick from their player, an autographed pennant and a family picture with the player.

For the remainder of the season, the 18 Oilers players who are adopted will wear a specially designed patch on their jersey with the name of the adopting family (not including themed jerseys) on the patch. The family will be recognized on TulsaOilers.com. The families will also have their name next to the players in all of the Oilers' subsequent programs distributed at home games and throughout the community.

There will also be special Adopt-An-Oiler events throughout the season. Immediately following the Oilers home games on January 29, 2012 and March 1, 2011 the adopting families will meet their player in the locker room. On February 19, the Oilers will host a dinner and private skate with the Oilers for all of the players and their adopting families at the Oilers Ice Center. Finally, during the Oilers final home weekend on March 25, 2012 the adopting families will be recognized in a pre-game ceremony before the Oilers take on the Missouri Mavericks.

At the conclusion of the season, adopting families will also receive their player's white game-used jersey signed by the player.

Details:

- There will be no more than 18 adopting families for the entire 2011-12 season.

- Should a player be injured but remain on the club, the adopting family will remain with the same player.

- Should a player be traded, the adopting family will automatically receive the incoming player as their adopted player.

- All 18 of the adopting families will remain throughout the season regardless of the player that family ends the season with and those families will be eligible to attend all events throughout the year regardless of who their player is.

- Absentee bids will be accepted. Please contact the Tulsa Oilers office at (918)632-7825 if you will not be able to attend the live auction after the game on November 25th, 2011.
