Vision:
To develop excellent hockey players on and off the ice.
Mission:
To develop youth hockey players into elite citizens and athletes. To conduct a youth hockey program that provides a fun and exciting experience for all the participants and their families, in an environment that promotes competition, sportsmanship, and teamwork, and that has a positive lasting impact upon the development of the participants as hockey players, individuals, and members of the community.
The best players in history were often not the very best at any one skill. They simply had the right combination of developed skills. Training for that combination is the job of every skating coach, every strength coach, and everyone who advises young players The Tulsa Jr Oilers Youth Hockey coaching staff has been hand-picked to work with your athlete. We know the importance of having elite coaching to make your athlete an excellent hockey player, and we spend multiple hours preparing practice plans.
Saying all that, we want to refrain from having any coaches teaching (On or Off-Ice) during Tulsa Jr Oilers Youth Hockey practices without approval through Klage Kaebel. This helps keep practices organized and efficient so your child can get everything out of each practice. Thank You!

The Tulsa Jr Oilers Youth Hockey approach to elite training:
- Competing at a higher level than one’s comfort zone ALWAYS produces improvement.
- TJO provides skill, speed, and strength-based training tailored to force each player beyond their comfortable level of play.
- Our coaches have seen these methods produce results firsthand in their own careers, and in the years of their hockey experience.
What we do:
- Skill-based training: the foundation for success

Our techniques include:

- Post-activation potentiation
Our goal is to train and develop the individual into the entire package:
- Skill: Skating, passing, shooting, stick-handling
- Quickness (speed, acceleration, agility)
- Hockey specific strength, endurance and coordination
- Muscle memory: proper technique and speed becomes 2nd nature
