Selling 1,122 tickets, the North American Hockey League (NAHL)'s Houston Bulls have officially sold out of season tickets ahead of their inaugural 2026-27 season.
The NAHL announced back in March that the North Iowa Bulls would be relocated to Houston to compete as the Houston Bulls. Former National Hockey League player Nathan Oystrick — who played with the St. Louis Blues (2010-11) and appeared in the League from 2008-11 — was announced as the team's Head Coach. AJ Ruskowski will serve as both the Assistant and Goaltending Coach. The team's jerseys were also recently unveiled.
Tyler Shaffar is the President of F&S Management Company — the management group of ownership overseeing the Houston Bulls.
In an exclusive, Shaffar said he extends his thanks to the Houston hockey community and thinks this could be a good indicator to the NHL regarding expansion consideration to the major Texas city.
“We want to sincerely thank the Greater Houston community, the entire team at Deep South Ice and Sports Complex, our corporate partners and all of our fans for the incredible support that helped us reach this milestone," Shaffar said. "The response to the Houston Bulls has exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to take the ice and begin this journey together. This is definitely another sign that Houston is ready for a NHL team too!”
