Ullrich Named Finalist For CHL Rookie of the Year

03/07/2012

GLENDALE, AZ – The Central Hockey League announced today that Oilers forward Mike Ullrich is a finalist for the CHL Rookie of the Year award.

Ullrich is on the final ballot with Jared Brown (F-Quad City), Andrew Courtney (F-Missouri), Bryan Gillis (G-Evansville), and Mark Guggenberger (G-Texas).


Serving as the Oilers top-line center all season, Ullrich has tallied 25 goals and 28 assists to lead the team in points. Ullrich’s goal total is not only tops on the Tulsa roster, but first among all CHL rookies.

Since training camp, Ullrich has played between wingers Dylan Clarke and Ryan Cramer and the trio has combined to produce 138 points, more than a quarter of the Oilers total offense. The 25-year old out of Banff, Alberta has recorded two hat-tricks and 12 multiple-point games this season.

Ullrich is one of only six players to appear in all 56 of the Oilers contests this season. He is tied for the team lead with seven powerplay goals and boasts the highest shooting percentage (.166) of any player on the active roster.

Tulsa is one point back of Rio Grande Valley for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Berry Conference. The Oilers return to the ice Friday night at 7:35 p.m. when they play host to the Quad City Mallards.
