As part of the
Western States Hockey League plan to return after the
COVID-19 pandemic, the league added the Vernal Oilers as an expansion team for the 2021–22 season. However, the WSHL was never able to restart play. Instead, in January of 2022, the Oilers were one of several former WSHL franchises to form the
Can-Am Junior Hockey League. After finishing out their abbreviated first season, the Oilers were invited to join the USPHL's Premier Division along with four other western teams and establish a new regional division. The Oilers accepted and swiftly became one of the top teams in the USPHL. In 2024–25, the Oilers compiled an astounding regular season record of 44–0, becoming one of the few ice hockey teams in history to not lose a single game. During their postseason run, the Oilers were just as dominant, winning all but one of their game en route to the championship. The only loss for the Oilers came in the national Round-Robin series after they had already secured a promotion to the championship round and thus did not affect their ability to win the title. ==Season-by-season records==
