The Condors proved to be road warriors last year, setting a franchise record for wins away from home (20), which turned out to be just one less than they won at home.
They’re going to need a good run on on the road over the next 17 days as they will play nine games in five states and Canada. They won’t return to the friendly confines of Rabobank Arena until Nov. 14.
First up is Phoenix Oct. 26 and then Fresno on Oct. 27 and, sleeper bus or not, I’m glad I’m not...

“I like our size, speed and grittiness, Condors Directory of Hockey Operations Bob Bartlestt said.
While Sunday’s intrasquad scrimmage was a good chance...
The Condors begin training camp Friday with what looks to be the makings of the best team to take the ice in Bakersfield.
Proven goaltenders Jamie Hodson and Yutaka Fukufuji should be the best goaltending duo in team history. Defensively, the players battling for a roster spot are bigger and tougher overall than last season and have a nice mix of offensive-minded players as well. Up front there is a lot of team toughness as well as proven goal scorers as Coach Marty Raymond set out to build...
