The Oil Barons Run Dry

Following last nights game seven loss in the Calder Cup Western Conference finals to the Utica Comets, the four year run that the Oklahoma City Barons have had has come to an end.

The time the Barons spent in OKC can be considered nothing short of success and it is hard to argue that.

Anton Lander (EDM), Mark Arcobello (EDM, NSH, PIT, ARI) and Chris VandeVelde (EDM, PHI) all got their pro careers started in OKC and have all since gone on to play over 100 games in the NHL.

Two other former Barons played over 100 NHL games (Bryan Helmer and Josh Green) as well, but neither got their start in Oklahoma.
