Tulsa Crude

The Tulsa Crude were a team that played in the Junior-level United States Hockey League for the 2001-02 season. The team had relocated from Dubuque, Iowa where they were known as the Dubuque Fighting Saints. The team had run into financial difficulties after the team dropped in the standings after a long run of success. The attendance consequently suffered and the team was sold to its coach who moved the team to Tulsa. In their first and only season in Tulsa, the team would finish last in the league (12-43-6) and failed to generate the necessary fan support, and the franchise ceased operations.
