Tulsa, Okla. — Tulsa Oilers, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks and the AHL’s San Diego Gulls, and powered by Community Care, announce that current Oilers goaltender Jake Sibell has signed an American League deal with Tulsa’s affiliate, San Diego.
Sibell has signed a one-year, two-way contract for the remainder of the 2026-27 AHL season with the San Diego Gulls, earning his first AHL contract on the coattail of winning ECHL Goaltender of the Month in October.
Sibell went 4-0-0 during October with two shutouts, a 1.00 goals-against average and a save percentage of .970 in four appearances during the opening month of the ECHL season.
The 26-year-old allowed two goals or fewer in three of his October appearances, while making 26 or more saves in each outing. During the span of his four starts, Sibell at one point recorded 156:04 straight of shutout hockey, good for more than seven consecutive periods of perfect goaltending.
"Jake has shown he is very deserving of an AHL deal," said Head Coach Rob Murray. "He is one of the best goalies in our league. With Anaheim only having five goalies in their system right now, I'm glad they recognized the value of getting Jake signed."
Sibell currently sits at 5-1-0-0, with a .955 save percentage and a 1.51 GAA, having stopped 190 of 199 shot attempts to begin the season.
The Tulsa Oilers travel to face the Kansas City Mavericks on November 12 at Cable Dahmer Arena. Puck drop is set for 10:35 a.m. CT.
