FEATURE STORY ALWAYS WITH US ryan Holt | bakersfield condors
CCondors specialty jersey auctions have long been a staple in Condorstown providing funds through the Condors Community Foundation 501(c)(3) thanks to the generosity of the fanbase. Recently, that number has increased even more as the auctions have shifted to mostly online generating thousands for local charity. The online portion has allowed for more bidders, more jerseys, and the reach of Condorstown worldwide. The team’s Star Wars jersey auction raised nearly $28,000 while the recent Wizard Night auction brought in nearly $17,000. WATCH EVERY GAME LIVE THEAHL.COM/AHLTV

CONDORS LEADERSHIP MATTHEW RILEY Team President Riley is responsible for the growth and development of KG (US) Oilers Corp. and the Bakersfield Condors, the organization he has guided since its inception in 1998. Riley serves on the AHL’s Board of Governors, and various league committees. He was previously the vice chairman for the ECHL Board of Governors, and served on the league’s Executive Committee. He was instrumental in negotiations in the January 2014 purchase of the Condors by the Edmonton Oilers and the team’s elevation to the American Hockey League (AHL) in 2015-16. Now in their seventh AHL season, Riley joined the organization late in 1997, when they were known as the Bakersfield Fog, to execute the transition from the Bakersfield Convention Center to Bakersfield Centennial Garden (now known as Mechanics Bank Arena). With a new name and a new arena in 1998, the Condors were named the West Coast Hockey League Organization of the Year. The Keokuk, Iowa, native previously served as the Executive Director of the Mobile (AL) BayBears Baseball Club, the classAA Southern League affiliate of the San Diego Padres, and was integral in the construction of Hank Aaron Stadium. Riley is a graduate of Nebraska Wesleyan University with a degree in communications. He earned a master’s degree in sport management from the United States Sports Academy in Daphne, Alabama.
COLIN CHAULK interm Head coach Colin Chaulk was named interm head coach of the condors on february 11, 2022. Prior to being named as interm head coach Chaulk was named the condors assistant coach on September 3, 2021. Chaulk, 44, was most recently in the American Hockey League (AHL) as an assistant coach with the Belleville Senators in 2019-20. Prior to that season, he was head coach of the Brampton Beast (2015-19), and an assistant coach with the Kalamazoo Wings (2013-15) and Fort Wayne Komets (2012-13). The 2019-20 season for the Senators was their most successful in team history with a .643 points percentage and captured their first division title. Chaulk led the Beast to two playoff appearances including a 40-win season in 2016-17.
COACHING STAFF JOHN
ANDERSON
Assistant coach
Anderson, 64, was head coach of the Chicago Wolves from 1997-2008 and in that time led the team to four league titles - two International Hockey League Turner Cups (1998, 2000) and two AHL Calder Cups (2002, 2008). He went to on to serve as head coach of the Atlanta Thrashers for two seasons and an assistant coach with the Phoenix Coyotes for two seasons, before returning to lead the Wolves in 2013 to capture another division title in 2013-14. His last coaching position was as an assistant with the Minnesota Wild from 2016-18. Overall, Anderson ranks fifth in AHL history with 424 victories and is seventh with 788 games behind the bench over 10 seasons in the AHL as a head coach. In addition to the two Calder Cups, he also won three division titles, had seven 40-win campaigns, and four 100-point seasons in addition to coaching two AHL All-Star Classics. He was inducted into the AHL Hall of Fame in 2019. As a player, Anderson spent 12 seasons in the NHL (1977-1989) with Toronto, Quebec, and Hartford.

Colby Cave Memorial Fund The Cave Family and the Edmonton Oilers have created the Colby Cave Memorial Fund to carry on the memory and legacy of Oilers forward Colby Cave who passed away suddenly and tragically on April 11, 2020. Proceeds from the fund will go toward community programs with an emphasis on mental health initiatives and providing access to sports for underprivileged children. Cave made a lasting impact both on and off the ice with the Edmonton Oilers and the AHL's Bakersfield Condors, and before that with the Boston Bruins organization and the WHL's Swift Current Broncos. Cave was a consummate professional, well-respected by teammates and opponents alike. He was also a committed and positive member of the communities in which he played, eagerly volunteering for charitable initiatives and always stopping to say hi to fans. Donations to the Colby Cave Memorial Fund are being accepted by the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation in Colby's memory. click to donate now
