Bakersfield Condors News Release
The American Hockey League announced today that LW Isaac Howard and RW Quinn Hutson have both been named to the 2025-26 AHL All-Rookie Team as voted on by players, coaches, and media.
Howard, 22, has averaged over a point-per-game with the Condors this season, tallying 47 points (22g-25a) in 45 games. He is third among rookies in goals and sixth in scoring despite playing over 20 fewer games than others in the top 10. A 1st round pick (#31 overall) in the 2022 NHL Draft by Tampa Bay, Howard was acquired by Edmonton in July. He started the season with the Oilers and had five points (2g-3a) in 29 games. He won the Hobey Baker Award as the NCAA's top collegiate player in 2025.
Hutson, 24, leads all rookies with 30 goals on the season and tied a Condors AHL record for goal scoring in the process. His 61 points (30g-31a) puts him second in scoring among rookies with two games remaining. An undrafted free agent out of Boston University, Hutson signed with Edmonton last Spring and made his NHL debut with the Oilers in two games last season. This year, he scored his first NHL goal on December 18 in Boston.
This is the second time the Condors have placed two rookies on the AHL All-Rookie Team after Tyler Benson and Shane Starrett were selected to the 2018-19 team. Max Gildon (2020-21) is the only other Condor to receive All-Rookie Team recognition.
