Broken Arrow Bruins - 36th Annual Strippers Tournament

Who We Are

Broken Arrow Youth Ranch is a family of believers helping other families find hope and healing. Through a private cooperative agreement, we receive children under the age of 18 years, for a minimum of one year. The children experience life on a fully functioning and working ranch. They are nurtured in a positive family atmosphere using faith-based values. Youth are given the opportunity to experience a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, as they learn to love God, love themselves and love others.

Who We Serve

We serve families in a wide variety of situations. For some families it is the parents that are overwhelmed with their own personal issues such as addictions, abuse, major illness, and other destructive patterns. Other families are struggling with the realities of rebellious teens. When families are faced with these circumstances, Broken Arrow Youth Ranch can help.

Our Purpose

Our purpose at Broken Arrow Youth Ranch is to minister to those who are hurting, by showing them God’s unconditional love. We provide children and youth with a safe, loving home. Parents and family members have regular visits where staff facilitate and mentor the family in Christ-like love, empowering them to respond to life with a Godly perspective. This allows the whole family to heal and grow.

Our Program

Our program is designed to meet the needs of each child, student and family. Students participate in caring for ranch animals, our horsemanship program, completing school work, and learning about their true identity in Jesus Christ. Our program is unique in that we work with the whole family; empowering them to change from old, destructive patterns to building healthy, new and loving relationships.

The Broken Arrow Bruins took part in the 36th Annual Strippers (Strippers as in Strip Mining!) the weekend of April 6 - 8th, 2018. We managed to have 15 players. Thankfully our goalie's wife had their baby two weeks early, freeing him up to play! We played four games and won two of them. This year we did not have any specific fundraiser that tied to this event. It was an opportunity to wear the Broken Arrow jerseys, set up a table with information about the Ranch, and visit with many different people. We are thankful for the donation of a 1972 Bobby Orr Replica Stanley Cup Ring which brought in $400.00 to Broken Arrow. A huge thank you to all our players for giving up a weekend to play hockey for us!
