Ramsay instantly gives Tulsa the most experienced coaching staff in the ECHL, adding more than 1000 games of head coaching knowledge to Head Coach Rob Murray’s impressive resume. The pair combine for 2,567 games coached and their partnership marks the first time in league history that two John Brophy Award (ECHL Coach of the Year) winners have worked on the same staff. Ramsay possesses AHL coaching experience and a winning trophy cabinet.      

The Dryden, Ontario native is still loved by the Tulsa fanbase despite spending the last seven seasons as the bench boss for their longest-standing rivals, the Wichita Thunder. Ramsay was head coach of the Oilers from the 2009-10 season through the 2014-15 season, bringing a fast-paced, high-scoring style to the BOK Center. His final season, Tulsa’s first in the ECHL, resulted in the Oilers scoring 248 goals, a total that remains unsurpassed.  

Also known as an excellent talent evaluator and recruiter, he brought players like Chad Costello, Jack Combs, Gary Steffes, Matt Register, Stephen Perfetto, Nathan Lutz, Kevin Carr and Adam Pleskach to Tulsa. A piece the Oilers have missed in recent years, Ramsay employed three ECHL First All-Star Team forwards during his time in Wichita, including a pair in 2024-25.
