The club's establishment was led by the Finnish businessman Hartti Kristola, who withdrew his economic support from Viking to focus on Oilers.

The second elite season saw two players leave the club: Jari Kesti signed for Vålerenga and Christian Dahl Andersen went to Swedish side Arboga.

Owner Hartti Kristola withdrew his financial backing, and a local business executive, Tore Christensen, took over control of the club.

Oilers' performances varied throughout the season, and after a loss against bottom side Bergen, Matti Riekkinen resigned as the team coach.

The first-ever play-off final featured a hockey team from Stavanger ended in a defeat in four straight games against Vålerenga.

At the end of the season, past players Jari Kesti and Tomi Suoniemi were also honoured, as their respective shirt numbers, #7 and #22, were officially retired by the club.

The Oilers' consistency led them into the playoffs, where they continued to perform at a high level, eventually winning the league championship.

Alongside him, Bryce Gervais, another standout forward, added significant depth to their scoring lineup, contributing crucial points throughout the season.

Martin Lefebvre also played a crucial role on defense, not only fortifying the team’s backline but also contributing offensively with a strong two-way game.

Holm's performance in net helped secure the Oilers' low goals-against record, reinforcing their position as one of the toughest teams to score against.

With contributions across their lineup, the Stavanger Oilers’ team effort and standout individual performances were key to their championship-winning season.
