The process begins with submitting your contact information and hockey experience. We’ll help determine your appropriate skill division and explain how to register as a free agent, obtain a USA Hockey membership, and connect with teams looking for players.
TAHL offers five co-ed divisions and a Women’s Division, accommodating players from complete beginners to highly experienced competitors.
New players go through a preliminary assessment based on their hockey experience. We may also ask players to participate in a game as a substitute so we can better evaluate their abilities.
Our goal is to place everyone in a division that provides an appropriate level of competition while keeping the games enjoyable and balanced.
For more information about each division, visit our LEAGUE OVERVIEW page.
Feel free to browse our game schedule and come watch a few games in person. It’s a great way to get a feel for the different skill levels and find the division that’s the best fit for you.

Teams make up their rosters using players that are eligible for their division. Players are ranked to the lowest division they should play in and are allowed to play one division up. The Free Agent list is shared with the team captains and they pick up players as needed.
Players must be at least 18 years old, out of high school, and out of the youth hockey programs to play in the Tulsa Adult Hockey League.
Most games are played on Sundays, but we do have weekday games that are usually Monday through Thursday. We do have an occasional Friday and Saturday game, though rare. Sunday game times start as early as 8:00AM and as late as 10:30PM. Weekday games start as early as 6:00PM and as late as 10:30PM. Game times change with seasonal demand. Take a look at our schedule in Time to Score under the CURRENT SEASON section of the site to get a better idea of what game times are like for this season.

There is no official sub list. For Free Agents, the league admin will send your contact info to the appropriate captains. Captains also have access to the Free Agent list.
For now, TAHL members can email the league admin to let them know they are interested in being a substitute player. Admin will then pass the information onto the appropriate captains.
