Finally on January 28th, 7,792 of Bakersfield's loudest and rowdiest came looking for Conner James Bobbleheads.

The ECHL office announced that Bakersfield Condors goaltender Yutaka Fukufuji is the CCM Vector ECHL Rookie of the Month for January. He becomes the second Condor to win the monthly bid during the 2004-05 campaign.
To my friends and fans alike, It has been over a year since I played my last professional hockey game with the Condors and it has taken me almost as long to realize I won't be able to return to the ice. I have seen and talked with many of you over the last year and it is hard to describe the appreciation I have for the support you have shared. After months of rehabilitation and doctors opinions last season it wasn't realistic to believe I would stay healthy through an entire season. With some hesitation, my ice hockey career had to come to an end. My family and I have enjoyed Bakersfield and considered it our home long before we bought our first house here. We've considered many of you our friends, and for that I thank you. I have come across hockey fans everywhere I go in town. The bank, the grocery store, and even at church. I will always be grateful for the experience even if it has to end. I am still very involved with roller hockey and still participating at a very high level competing with Team Canada and a company sponsored team called Rink Rat. As co-captain for team Canada I will be participating in an upcoming qualifying tournament in Argentina in March and I am also scheduled to represent Canada again in Germany this summer during the World Games. I am still working with Nance' Fillmore and Fillmore Realty and Financial Services, an independent realty company located in Rosedale. It has been a pleasure extending my professional relationship with many of you beyond Centennial Garden and into the world of real estate. Please feel free to stop by and say hello. I have also enjoyed spending my free time visiting schools, running hockey clinics, and tutoring students of all ages in math and science when I am not helping my own children with their home school activities. I look forward to seeing many of you at a future Condors game. We all need to enjoy the success we are seeing in a town that truly deserves a winning team. I wish all of you the best in 2005.
