ALL-STAR SETH

On a weekend full of stars, it was the one from Condorstown which shined as bright as ever.

After venturing to Laval, Quebec on Saturday from Calgary, Alberta, where the Condors just wrapped up their fifth winning week in a row, Condors winger Seth Griffith got to work at the AHL All-Star Classic.

With his family in attendance, Griffith would go on to score goals in the pass-and-score event and the breakaway relay.

On Sunday night, he helped the Western Conference to a win in the puck control relay, defeating Alex Nylander of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

He wasn’t done though.

At the jewel event of the week, the two-time all-star was a driving force for the Pacific Division team. In three round robin games, Griffith scored four goals, linking up with the likes of Michael Carcone from the Tucson Roadrunners and T.J. Tynan from the Ontario Reign. The Pacific went unbeaten in the round robin at 2-0-1 to advance to the All-Star Classic Championship game.

In the extended 3-on-3 Championship content, it took seconds for the Ontario native to make a difference, scoring what would prove to be the only goal of the game. The game winner, in the All-Star Game, from Condorstown. And five goals to lead the tournament.

Though he wasn’t named all-star MVP for his terrific performance, that went to Dustin Wolf (Calgary) and Lukas Dostal (San Diego), he was happy he didn’t have to shoot on the co-MVPs. “We deal with them too much during the season.”

Griffith is excited about the second “half” of the season as the team pushes for playoff positioning, “looking forward to coming back and getting some wins.”
