The Tulsa Ice Oilers joined the C.H.L. in the leagues second year (64/65). Tulsa remained in the league for 20 years, a league record. Tulsa had 7 different parent clubs during their 20 years. One year they operated without a parent club picking up players where they could. The Ice Oilers suspended the franchise on Febuary 16, 1984 and played the final 6 weeks of the C.H.L. as a road team. That same year the Ice Oilers went on to win the Adams Cup.
