FEATURE STORY The perseverance through all that has occurred has hardened this team though, especially on home ice where the team matched a club record with 21 wins.
Stuart Skinner is 6-3 in his postseason career, backstopping the team to a Pacific Division Championship last year. Vincent Desharnais has been the anchor of a Condors d-corps that finished sixth in goals against this season. He led the entire AHL at +36.
Make no mistake. Despite the injuries and opposition, this Condors side has the ingredients to push into late May and June.
And up front, Dylan Holloway’s return Saturday sparked a group that seems built for the postseason. The theme all season has been “blue collar” and that rings true for the postseason for Bakersfield. And when the team has been counted out is when they usually throw a surprise or two back at you.

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.

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.

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.

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
