With four signees already announced for the 2012-13 season and at least 10 more waiting to be revealed, Tulsa Oilers coach Bruce Ramsay said his team should be much improved when the puck drops on the Central Hockey League season in October.

Definitely on board are eight-year veteran goalie Larry Sterling and all-star forward Ryan Menei. Defensemen Sean Erickson and Gio Flamminio have signed contracts with many more familiar names scheduled to be released.
