BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The Bakersfield Condors today have signed F Tylor Michel (mih-SHEL), as announced by Head Coach Marty Raymond. He is the second rookie to emerge from the college ranks to skate for the Condors this weekend.
Michel, 23, finished up his four-year career at Wayne State University, in the College Hockey America conference. He finished third on the team in scoring with 22 points (7g-15a) in 37 games, while adding a team-high 94 penalty minutes this season.
