The ECHL’s Tulsa Oilers have signed defenseman Jackson Niedermayer.

Niedermayer, who turned 25 on March 11, joins the Oilers out of Bowling Green State University, where he posted 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) and a team-high plus-16 rating in his senior year.

The Newport Beach native compiled 44 points (20 goals, 24 assists) in 124 NCAA games, playing as both a forward and defenseman at Arizona State University and Bowling Green.

Niedermayer finished the 2023-24 season with the third-most goals (9) and second-best plus-minus (plus-13) among all Sun Devils. The six-foot, 201-pound blueliner was named CCHA defenseman of the week on Jan. 26, 2026, following a sweep of Bemidji State that featured three assists and a plus-4 rating from the redshirt senior.

Back home, Niedermayer played for the Anaheim Jr. Ducks and Orange Lutheran High School.
