FARREN RETURNS FOR THIRD SEASON FOLLOWING CAREER YEAR 

Michael Farren returns to Tulsa after posting career highs in goals, assists and points last season 

 

TULSA, Okla. —The Tulsa Oilers, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks and the AHL’s San Diego Gulls and powered by Community Care, announced Monday the re-signing of forward Michael Farren for the 2024-25 season. 

 

Farren, 24, returns to Tulsa for his third campaign, posting a career-high 31 points (13g, 18a) in 49 games last season. The returning winger totals 59 points (25g, 34a) in 106 regular season appearances as an Oiler.  

Prior to joining the Oilers, Farren played one season of European hockey, notching 39 points (17g, 22a) in 38 AlpsHL games with Steel Wings Linz.    

“Farren comes in for his third year,” head coach Rob Murray said. “We’d love to see him recapture his form from early last season. He arrived a much-improved player but couldn’t stay totally healthy, which hampered his game. Coming off a summer where he can fully recover and is attending San Diego’s AHL camp should help him get back there. We are also expecting him to step up in a leadership role as a third-year guy and a part of our nucleolus.” 

The Surrey, British Columbia native played his junior hockey in the WHL, compiling 107 points (37g, 70a) in 248 games split among Saskatoon, Kelowna and Swift Current. 

Hampered by injury last season, Farren began his career-best year with 12 points (8g, 4a) in the opening 11 games before missing a month with a nagging injury.

The 5’10, 185 lbs. forward recorded his first professional hat trick during the 11-game stretch on Oct. 29, followed by another three-point performance (2g, 1a) in the following game on Nov. 2.
