Since I can’t let Kevin Bartl have the entire spotlight in #Condorstown (though he’s rightfully earned it), I’ve decided that I too need to write a weekly blog. I want it to be a place to vent every week or share thoughts on things that are going on around the office and sports world. Most […]
It is probably no accident that the Condors turnaround on the ice coincided with the arrival of Kyle Calder, playing in Condorstown for the third straight season. Though he was off the ice for nearly a full year after an off-season injury, Calder skated in 27 games with the Condors and posted 23 points (12g-11a) […]
The first player signed by Head Coach Matt O’Dette in his tenure at the helm of the Condors, Hans Benson made his impact like only Hans Benson can: to the tune of a team-leading 16 fighting majors in 2011-12. “Benny” was a veteran voice in the locker room and an alternate captain, and finished second […]
CONDORSTOWN, Calif. –The Bakersfield Condors were once again a leader in the community during the 2011-12 season. Through the generosity of the great fans in Condorstown who supported the team’s community and charitable endeavors, the team raised $348,490.00 for various charities and non-profit organizations during the 2011-12 season.

When F Tyler Helfrich was picked up from Gwinnett for “future considerations” on Nov. 21, it didn’t make many heads turn. Nobody probably thought at the time the team had just acquired their leading scorer-to-be. Helfrich racked up 42 of his 50 points with Bakersfield. He tied for the team lead with seven power play […]
Signed on Dec. 1 out of the Southern Professional Hockey League, D Tyson Gimblett was known at the time as the twin brother of one of the Condors leading scorers. But it didn’t take him long to make a name for himself. Tyson dropped the mitts more than any rookie in the ECHL except one, […]
THURS APRIL 19th: The Condors will help the Downtown Business Association kickoff their monthly “Third Thursday” events during the off-season from 5:30-8:30 p.m. in Central Park along Mill Creek, located at the corner of 19th and R streets. Members of the front office and Colonel Claw’d will appear at the carnival style fair along with the always […]
Here are five questions on my mind on this Monday morning, after a busy sports weekend… 5. How’s my ECHL Kelly Cup Playoff Bracket? It’s looking pretty good, although it has a couple glitches in it. I didn’t anticipate Las Vegas slicing through Utah like a hot knife through butter, though, and now that they’re […]
CONDORSTOWN, Calif. – Although the playoffs were not in the cards for the 2011-12 Bakersfield Condors, there was also much to celebrate about the team, which featured league leaders in rookie scoring, shorthanded efforts and penalty minutes, three ECHL Player of the Week winners, and four players placed in the American Hockey League. League Leaders: […]
