Bakersfield Condors News Release


BAKERSFIELD, Calif - The Bakersfield Condors Professional Hockey Club announced today they have signed Jay Langager, a standout defenseman from the University of Lethbridge.

The Loreburn, Saskatchewan native was added to the roster today, but is recovering from a shoulder injury and will be placed on the 7-day IR. He is eligible to come off March 27.

"I'm very happy to have a defenseman of his caliber join the team," said Condors head coach Marty Raymond. "He has already won a championship with Greenville and I'm hoping he will help bring one here."

Langager is coming off a stellar season for Lethbridge where he was the school's team captain, the Canadian Interuniversity Sport MVP, first team Canadian Interuniversity Sport All-Star, Canada West MVP, Canada West Outstanding Defenseman, and a Canada West First Team All-Star.

Along with his many awards with Lethbridge this season, the 6-foot, 1-inch, 190-pound defenseman recorded 13 points (3g, 10a) for Lethbridge in 30 games. Langager also has prior ECHL experience, playing 62 games for the Greenville Grrrowl, recording 21 points (4g, 17a) in 62 games during their championship season in 2001-02 and 131 games for the Johnstown Chiefs between 2002-04, tallying 56 points (9g, 47a).
