Founded in 2021, The Vernal Oilers aim to provide elite amateur hockey players an avenue to further their playing careers at the college or professional levels. The Oilers utilize a global network to recruit players from North America, Europe and Asia who are committed to developing both as hockey players and as young men during their tenure in Utah.
The Oilers will play a fast, physical brand of hockey that will provide affordable, family-friendly entertainment to those in the Ashley Valley throughout the fall and winter months.
