FEATURE STORY SIGNING SEASON ryan Holt | bakersfield condors
It was a big end to the road trip for a quartet of Condors who all signed NHL contracts, keeping them in the organization. On Wednesday it was announced that d-man Dmitri Samorukov signed a oneyear contract extension. Also, d-man Vinny Desharnais and forward James Hamblin inked two-year NHL contracts, their first NHL contracts of their careers. On Thursday, veteran Seth Griffith signed on for two more years as well.
“I’m just so grateful for the people that have gotten me to this point and thankful,” Hamblin said. “I’ve had to earn everything and for guys like myself and Vinny who were roommates last year just trying to help the team, to sign the same day, is pretty special.” Desharnais was drafted by the Oilers in the 7th round, but was on an AHL contract the last three seasons. After spending significant time in the ECHL and in and out of the Bakersfield lineup, he has become a dominating force on a surging Condors blue line. Organizationally, he has become of the poster boys for the team’s belief in “playing who’s playing well” and not necessarily just playing those on specific contract statuses.
The latter of the Wednesday three, Hamblin was undrafted when he signed a two-year AHL contract before the pandemic shortened 2020-21 season. He went on to lead all Condors rookies in goals with seven and celebrated his new NHL contract Wednesday with two goals to give him 14 this year.

FEATURE STORY Samorukov was in the final year of his entry level contract and made his NHL debut in St. Louis earlier in the year. His game has come on strong in the second half of this season after a myriad of injuries plagued his first half. Condors General Manager General Manager Keith Gretzky has been pleased with the growth of the agile d-man.
The 29-year old Griffith came to Condorstown last season, already one of the AHL’s most prolific scorers. He ranks second in scoring since 2013 and his two-year, two-way contract ensures the organization will have a proven voice in the dressing room to accompany a host of talented offensive prospects. It also shows the belief in the organization in the culture and foundation of the team’s success moving forward with proven quality veteran players leading the way.
“He’s taken huge strides. The biggest thing is he’s moving his feet. And when you move your feet, you’re not going to get yourself into trouble, you don’t box yourself in. Since Niemelainen and Broberg have gone up, he’s been a guy we’ve really counted on. I think he logs about 23, 24 minutes a game… With Dmitri I’m very happy. Not to knock him, he was struggling… but the last two months he’s been phenomenal and a real big part of our shutdown with Vinny Desharnais.”

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

We’re thrilled to have 31 teams back on the ice this fall, and we’re especially excited to have our passionate fans back to cheer on our players inside arenas across North America. Our clubs remain dedicated to ensuring everyone’s health and safety, allowing us to continue our role as the top development league for nearly all of the players, coaches, executives, trainers, broadcasters and officials in the National Hockey League today.
