Boise, ID (11/9/16) -Steelheads Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations Neil Graham announced on Wednesday that forward Kellan Lain has joined the Bakersfield Condors of the American Hockey League. Lain has signed a professional tryout agreement with the Condors after playing ten games with the Steelheads.
