Where else can the average T-Town Joe get $2 beer, cheerleaders on ice and a good fight, all at one place and at one time, and all in an environment that's kid friendly? 

There's really only one option, and it's at the <a href="http://www.bokcenter.com/">BOK Center</a>, and it's on $2 Tuesday with the <a href="http://www.tulsaoilers.com/">Tulsa Oilers</a>.

There are so many reasons to love hockey. The fast pace. The skill the ice requires. The fights. The uniforms. 

The players underneath the uniforms. 

<a href="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/11/billys-at-the-bok/dsc_1682/" rel="attachment wp-att-4005"><img src="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1682-500x332.jpg" alt="Tulsa Oilers" title="Tulsa Oilers" width="500" height="332" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4005" /></a>

If I hadn't found a rugged, super-studly ex-sniper turned geologist to marry, I think I would have liked to marry a hockey player. 

But you didn't hear that from me.

Our son appreciates a good fight as much as the next guy. 

<a href="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=4268" rel="attachment wp-att-4268"><img src="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DSC_1669-500x332.jpg" alt="Tulsa Oilers" title="Tulsa Oilers" width="500" height="332" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4268" /></a>

Even though he's not the one annoying other game-goers with his shouting of "fight, fight, fight!" every two seconds. 

<a href="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=4269" rel="attachment wp-att-4269"><img src="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DSC_1768-500x332.jpg" alt="Tulsa Oilers" title="Tulsa Oilers" width="500" height="332" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4269" /></a>

Nope. That was me. But he stole <a href="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/11/billys-at-the-bok/">my burger from Billy's at the BOK</a>, so he lost his vote that determines how Mom gets to behave in public. 

It wasn't long before my husband nudged me, nodded across the rink and said something along the lines of, "Hey, honey - did you bring your telephoto lens?"

<a href="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=4270" rel="attachment wp-att-4270"><img src="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DSC_1679.jpg" alt="Tulsa OIlers" title="Tulsa OIlers" width="426" height="640" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4270" /></a>

And what do you know, I did. 

<a href="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/11/billys-at-the-bok/dsc_1814/" rel="attachment wp-att-4010"><img src="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1814-500x332.jpg" alt="Tulsa Oilers" title="Tulsa Oilers" width="500" height="332" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4010" /></a>

Whoever that guy is in the first picture, he seems pretty happy to me. 

<a href="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=4272" rel="attachment wp-att-4272"><img src="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DSC_1779-500x332.jpg" alt="Tulsa Oilers" title="Tulsa Oilers" width="500" height="332" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4272" /></a>

Even though we don't know as much about hockey as we probably could, we were happy to be at the game, too. That we beat Quad City helped. 

That this kind of fun -the kind of fun that lasts all night and is fast-paced enough to keep the kids' attention - starts at $12 per ticket put smiles on our faces, too.

If you go to the game tonight, know that it's $2 Tuesday. That means that all beer and soft drinks are discounted to $2. 

Now a dinner at the BOK Center doesn't sound half bad, does it? Park once, walk once, baby. $2 beer helps it happen. 

<a href="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/11/billys-at-the-bok/dsc_1761/" rel="attachment wp-att-4009"><img src="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1761-500x332.jpg" alt="BOK Center Tulsa Oilers" title="BOK Center Tulsa Oilers" width="500" height="332" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4009" /></a>

The Oilers are on a winning streak as of late. They've won five out of their last six games, and they have a homestand of four games this week.  

If an Oilers game sounds like a good way to spend a Tuesday night like tonight, <a href="http://www.tickets.com/browse.cgi?pgid=2016651">get your tickets here</a>. Our guys are playing the Rapid City Rush starting at 7:05pm, and if our fire keeps burning, we'll shut 'em down by halftime. 

The Oilers play again Friday night in a double header with the Tulsa Rampage Jr. A hockey team taking on the Boulder Bison at 4pm at the BOK Center. The Oilers take on Texas at 7:35pm. 

Another thing about the Friday night game? It's Ladies' Night. 

<a href="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/11/billys-at-the-bok/dsc_1682/" rel="attachment wp-att-4005"><img src="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1682-500x332.jpg" alt="Tulsa Oilers" title="Tulsa Oilers" width="500" height="332" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4005" /></a>

And trust me, ladies, you won't need the discount tickets and free chair massages (no, really - free chair massages every Ladies' Night with Tulsa Oilers) to feel like you've stumbled upon a serious treat.
