PRESS RELEASE
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK, JANUARY 25TH, 2025 –– The Oklahoma Warriors have added 3 new players to their roster and signed an affiliate agreement to acquire a 4th for an upcoming period of time. Before Christmas, Forward Mason Jackson made Warriors history being the first call-up from the newly affiliated NA3HL Long Beach Sharks. Then, last week, the Warriors welcomed Goaltender Jeff Kreidler, and this week, Coach Weossner has brought aboard Forward Mason Wright and Defenseman Jack McClellan. You can get to know these new Warriors below:
Forward Mason Jackson: Mason is an ’04 forward from Salt Lake City, UT. Before getting called up to the NAHL this year, he played 73 games for the NA3HL’s Long Beach Sharks, scoring 27 times and racking up 15 assists for a total of 42 points. While here in Oklahoma so far, he has played in two games, but despite not registering any points, contributed to a big win against Colorado back in December. Welcome to Oklahoma, Mason!
Goaltender Jeff Kreidler: Jeff is an ’04 goalie hailing from Pittsburgh, PA. He’s spent the last couple of years playing in the NCDC, putting up terrific numbers in between the pipes for the Mercer Chiefs, Twin City Thunder, and Thunder Hockey Club. In 31 games, he registered a .917 save percentage and tallied 18 wins. Jeff will wear number 30 for Warriors the rest of this season. Welcome to Oklahoma, Jeff!
Forward Mason Wright: Mason is a dynamic ’06 forward who has quite the history already not just in the NAHL, but in the south division as well. Beginning his NAHL career earlier this season with the Shreveport Mudbugs, Wright has totaled 3 goals and 1 assist in his 10 games with Shreveport. Ironically, one of those 3 goals was scored against Oklahoma earlier on this season. However, after recently being dropped by the Mudbugs, the Warriors coaching staff was quick to Wright on board. Mason made his Warriors debut last night vs. his old team, but despite not registering a point, began establishing himself as a crucial piece to this Oklahoma front side. Welcome to Oklahoma, Mason!
Defenseman Jack McClellan: Jack made his Warriors and NAHL debut on Friday night against Shreveport. McClellan, an ’06 defenseman from St. Paul, Minnesota, didn’t register a point but did have a +1 in the game. Prior to getting picked up by Oklahoma, McClellan spent time with the Oakmoor Academy Patriots 18U AAA team and the NA3HL’s Rochester Grizzlies. He had 9 points in 8 games with the Patriots, and in 4 games with the Grizzlies, McClellan tallied 2 assists. Welcome to Oklahoma, Jack!
