The original Central Hockey League was founded in the 1963-64 season, and the Tulsa Oilers joined that league for the 1964-65 season. The team suspended its operations on February 16, 1984, when its owners went bankrupt and the Tulsa Oilers went into receivership. Other teams in the league paid to keep the Oilers in operation so as not to unbalance the schedule, but the Oilers played only road games for final six weeks of 1983-84 season. Despite this difficulty the team went on to win the league championship.
