Bakersfield Condors News Release
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The Bakersfield Condors, official ECHL affiliate of the Anaheim Ducks, announced today they have acquired C Bruce Graham from the Gwinnett Gladiators in exchange for future considerations. The announcement was made by Head Coach Marty Raymond.
Graham, 23, is in his fourth professional season, and has split his pro career between the ECHL and the American Hockey League. The 6-foot-6-inch pivot was fourth on the Gladiators in points with 20 (10g-10a) and was second on the club in goals, while appearing in all 29 Gwinnett games this season.
Originally a second round draft pick (#51 overall) of the New York Rangers in the 2004 Entry Draft, Graham had played the previous three seasons with the Rangers affiliates, the Charlotte Checkers (ECHL) and the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL), while also seeing time in NHL preseason action (pictured). In 159 career ECHL games, Graham has 60g-67a-127pts and 228 penalty minutes. He also has skated in 56 career AHL games (3g-11a-14pts). The Moncton, New Brunswick, native had his best season in the ECHL in 2006-07, when he recorded 33 goals and 56 points in 65 games with the Checkers.
Graham is expected to join the team on their upcoming road trip to Phoenix and Victoria later this week.
