The Tulsa Oilers have acquired defenseman Tyler Fleck, who
played at Quinnipiac, from the Missouri Mavericks in exchange for
defenseman Tom Maldonado and future considerations.
"Tyler Fleck is a tough defenseman who has been a standout player
for a number of years in this league," Oilers coach Bruce Ramsay
said. "He's the kind of player that will sacrifice every part of
his body to make a great play."
After playing 10 seasons with the Oklahoma City Blazers, Fleck
joined the expansion Mavericks this season when the Blazers
suspended operations in the Central Hockey League. The 5-foot-10,
210 pound solid blueliner has a reputation as one of the hardest
body checkers in the CHL.
In 20 games with Missouri this season, Fleck had one goal and two
assists for three points. He had 32 penalty minutes and was -1.
Fleck is expected to be in the Oilers line up when they host the
Amarillo Gorillas Friday at 7:35 p.m. at the BOK Center.
