Garth Brooks has been announced as the new majority owner of the Tulsa Oilers, an ECHL minor league hockey team. At the BOK Center press conference, Brooks wore a custom jersey reading “The Thunder Rolls” and joked, “Y’all thought I retired from touring? Now I’m bringing the same energy to the boards—this ain’t my first rodeo, but it’s my first hat trick!”

This move makes him Oklahoma’s first celebrity sports team owner. His plans include hosting “Garth Night” with concerts, introducing mascot “Billy the Puck,” and hiding “Friends in Low Places” lyrics in the team jerseys.

The hockey world welcomed the news. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman called him part of the “hockey family,” while Carrie Underwood joked she might need to buy a team too.

Brooks even showed off his slapshot, with captain Adam Pleskach saying, “Turns out all those years of guitar playing gave him killer wrist strength.”

His first change? Renaming the penalty box the “Low Places Lounge,” stocked with his whiskey.
