2022 Bakersfield Condors Offseason Player Tracker

SEASON SYNOPSIS

In an ultra-competitive Pacific Division, the 2021-22 Bakersfield Condors held its own after the Stockton Heat & Ontario Reign both jumped out to grab (and maintain) the top two seeds. Going down to the wire, Bakersfield snatched the fourth seed after a 3-1 victory over the Heat to conclude the regular season. The Condors finished with a 37-21-10 record, 84 points, and a .618 points percentage. In the postseason, Bakersfield swept Abbotsford in the first round (two games to none in a best-of-three series), but were shut down against Stockton in the Pacific Division semifinals (three games to none in a best-of-five series).

Right winger Seth Griffith dominated team scoring, potting 30 goals and accruing 50 assists for 80 total points in 64 games played — good for fourth overall in league scoring. Fellow forwards Cooper Marody and Adam Cracknell both contributed with 21 goals apiece and 55 & 47 points, respectively. Goaltender Stuart Skinner boasted a 22-7-5 record, a 2.21 GAA (t-3rd in AHL), and a .920 save percentage (t-6th). Skinner also tied for first in the league for shutouts (5).
