Tulsa Oilers Hockey Club Foundation
The Tulsa Oilers Hockey Club Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and growing youth hockey across the state of Oklahoma. The Foundation’s mission is simple yet powerful — to ensure that every child who dreams of stepping onto the ice has the opportunity to do so, regardless of financial barriers. By investing in Oklahoma’s young athletes, the Foundation helps players develop their skills, build confidence and pursue their goals at higher levels of competition, from youth leagues to collegiate and professional play.
Through community support and generous donations, the Foundation funds a wide range of initiatives that make hockey more accessible. This includes scholarships for programs like Learn to Skate, Learn to Play Hockey, Youth Hockey and Juniors Hockey; the purchase of essential equipment and ice time; and assistance with coaching fees, training, and travel expenses. In addition, the Foundation provides beginner classes that introduce new players to the sport, helping to foster a lifelong love for hockey and expand the game’s reach throughout Oklahoma.
By removing financial obstacles and promoting local hockey programs, the Tulsa Oilers Hockey Club Foundation is building a stronger, more inclusive future for the sport — one where no child is left off the ice.
