List of Stavanger Oilers seasons

The Stavanger Oilers are a Norwegian ice hockey club based in Stavanger. They are members of the highest Norwegian ice hockey league, Eliteserien (known as GET-ligaen for sponsorship reasons). The Oilers were founded in 2000 by Hartti Kristola and other Finnish expatriate workers who wanted to play ice hockey at a professional level.[1] After the demise of Viking IK in 1996 and the financial woes of successors Viking Hockey, the Oilers soon became the leading team in Stavanger. As of 2017, they have completed fourteen seasons in the Eliteserien, winning 359 regular season games and achieving nine top-three finishes.

Stavanger started out in the 2. divisjon (third tier) in 2001–02, earning successive promotions to the 1. divisjon and then Eliteserien over the next two years. They qualified for the playoffs in their first season in Eliteserien, losing out in the Semi-finals to would-be champions Storhamar. Since then, the Oilers have made the playoffs every season. In 2006, they advanced all the way to the Finals, but lost in four straight games to Vålerenga. In 2010, they met Vålerenga in the Finals again, this time winning 4–2 to claim their first Norwegian Championship title.
