Tuesday, July 23rd

TULSA, Okla. —The Tulsa Oilers, ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League’s Anaheim Ducks and the American Hockey League’s San Diego Gulls, announced the re-signing of defenseman Duggie Lagrone for the 2024-25 season.

Lagrone, 30, returns to Tulsa after leading the Oilers in plus-minus (+20) last season, while adding 35 points (4a-31a) in 71 games. In 143 games as an Oiler, he claims 65 points (14g-51a), missing only one game since joining the team.

Lagrone’s 10 goals in 2021-22 led all Oilers defensemen, and he adds three assists in 11 postseason games during his Oilers’ career. In between his two seasons in Tulsa, The Plano, Texas native played 11 games with the Nottingham Panthers of the Elite Ice Hockey League in an injury-shortened 2022-23 campaign.

Prior to turning pro, Lagrone played collegiately, playing in 33 games with Colorado College before transferring to SUNY-Geneseo. Lagrone was nearly a point-per-game blueliner with the Knights, compiling 52 points (13g-39a) in 55 games, earning multiple conference awards and First-Team All-American honors in 2018-19.

In juniors, Lagrone was a North American Hockey League champion in 2013-14, winning the Robertson Cup with the Fairbanks Ice Dogs.
