FEATURE STORY BOURGAULT FIGURING IT OUT ryan Holt | bakersfield condors

It’s not easy going from junior hockey, where you’re one of the oldest in the group, to the American Hockey League as a freshly turned 20-year old. It’s even more difficult when the last two seasons have had COVID postponements, rescheduling, and extended, shortening the possible time window to get ready for your rookie season.

But, Edmonton Oilers 2020 first rounder Xavier Bourgault has taken it all in stride, having just celebrated his 20th birthday in Bakersfield, and venturing out in to what promises to be a fruitful professional career.

Through nine games, the offensively-gifted Bourgault has six points (3g-3a), is second on the team with 22 shots, and has scored shorthanded twice.

“Making the jump to the AHL, everyone is bigger, faster, stronger,” Bourgault said. “You can’t take a shift off and you have to play at both ends of the ice.”

WATCH EVERY GAME LIVE THEAHL.COM/AHLTV

One of those early impacts for Bourgault has been on the penalty kill, a tool he hopes to sharpen while in

FEATURE STORY Bakersfield to add another element to his growing game.

“I have offensive instincts for the power play, but I wanted to play on the penalty kill here, to learn that side,” he said. “I want to be a well-rounded player.”

Those early lessons came in the form of two shorthanded goals to start the season, showing that the penalty kill can be an effective offensive weapon for the Condors, who have three total on the year already.

“What we saw from Bourgy was confidence after he scored his first one,” head coach Colin Chaulk said. “It gave him the confidence to play against men. He’s learning that not every shift needs to be a threat. He can battle every shift and be effective that way.”

Bourgault is one of a handful of rookies who have already had flashes in the opening nine games. Carter Savoie scored twice last weekend in Henderson, Noah Philp scored twice in back-to-back games, and Ty Tullio has three points through eight games.

With a veteran-laden group leading the way, the young talent on the Condors roster, developing every week, will only pay dividends down the road.

2022-2023 SEASON

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Fans, It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2022-23 American Hockey League season, the latest chapter in a tradition of excellence that can be traced back to our league’s founding more than eight decades ago.

SCOTT HOWSON PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AMERICAN HOCKEY LEAGUE

The AHL is as proud as ever of its role in developing nearly all of the players, coaches, executives, trainers, broadcasters and officials who you see throughout the National Hockey League today. Generations of our great fans have cheered on future superstars, Stanley Cup champions and Hockey Hall of Famers as they have come through the AHL. This season is sure to be another exciting one as for the first time ever we drop the puck in 32 cities across North America, all vying to become the next Calder Cup champion.

On behalf of all of our teams, thank you for your continuing support of the AHL. Sincerely,

THE BEGINNINGS Embarking on its 87th season of play in 2022-23, the American Hockey League is continuing a tradition of excellence that began in 1936 when the Canadian-American Hockey League joined with the International Hockey League to form what is today known as the AHL. Eight teams hit the ice that first season, representing Buffalo, Cleveland, New

Haven, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Providence, Springfield and Syracuse.

recent championship was captured by the Chicago Wolves last spring.

Frank Calder, the National Hockey League’s president at the time, was instrumental in the forming of this new league, and his name would be given to its championship trophy. The first Calder Cup was won by the Syracuse Stars in 1937; the most

From those roots, the American Hockey League has grown into a 32-team, coast-to-coast league that provides fans with exciting, high-level professional hockey while preparing thousands of players, coaches, officials, executives, trainers, broadcasters and more for careers in the NHL.

THE PLAYERS

THE LEGENDS

THE COACHES

In today’s National Hockey League nearly 90 percent of the players are AHL alumni, including 2021-22 Vezina Trophy winner Igor Shesterkin, Calder Trophy recipient Moritz Seider and Lady Byng Trophy winner Kyle Connor. The 2022 Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche were stocked with AHL graduates including leading scorer Mikko Rantanen, Nazem Kadri, Devon Toews and Darcy Kuemper.

For the past eight decades, the American Hockey League has been home to some of the greatest players in the history of our sport. In fact, more than 100 honored members of the Hockey Hall of Fame have been affiliated with the AHL during their careers. All-time greats like Johnny Bower, Toe Blake, Gump Worsley, Terry Sawchuk, Glenn Hall, Brad Park, Ken Dryden, and Brett Hull came through the AHL ranks and now find themselves enshrined in Toronto, and the coveted Calder Cup is inscribed with the names of legendary AHL alumni like Patrick Roy, Larry Robinson, Gerry Cheevers, Andy Bathgate, Tim Horton, Al Arbour, Emile Francis, Doug Harvey, and Billy Smith.

At the start of the 2022-23 season, the National Hockey League featured 22 head coaches who were former AHL bench bosses, including including Jared Bednar of the 2022 Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche.

During the 2021-22 season, a total of 992 AHL alumni played in the National Hockey League. There were 423 players who skated in both leagues last year alone, and 235 former first- and secondround NHL draft picks developed their skills in the AHL last season, including Alexander Holtz, Marco Rossi, Lukas Reichel, Jakob Pelletier, Peyton Krebs, 2022 Calder Cup champion Jack Drury and AHL Rookie of the Year Jack Quinn.

Tampa Bay’s Jon Cooper, Washington’s Peter Laviolette, Pittsburgh’s Mike Sullivan, Nashville’s John Hynes, Toronto’s Sheldon Keefe, Vancouver’s Bruce Boudreau, Minnesota’s Dean Evason and Edmonton’s Jay Woodcroft are also among the current NHL coaches who spent time in the American Hockey League before making the jump.
