Pro hockey will return to Oklahoma City starting next season.
Representatives of Prodigal Hockey LLC and the NHL's Edmonton
Oilers said Tuesday that Oklahoma City will be the home of the
Oilers' now-dormant American Hockey League franchise.
The announcement culminated months of negotiations between
Prodigal Hockey and the Oilers, who made at least three visits to
Oklahoma City during the past two years. The team, which will play
at the downtown Cox Convention Center, does not yet have a
nickname.
The 29-team AHL is considered a Triple-A-level league. Oklahoma
City hasn't had an upper-level minor-league hockey franchise since
the Oklahoma City Stars folded in 1982.
