Bakersfield Condors News Release


CONDORSTOWN, Calif. - The American Hockey League (AHL) announced today that all seven Pacific Division teams will participate in a postseason tournament to decide the John D. Chick Trophy winner as division champion. The fourth- through seventh-place clubs in the regular-season standings will play a single-elimination play-in, held at FivePoint Arena in Irvine, Calif., to determine who will join the top three teams in the best-of-three semifinals. All semifinals and finals games will be hosted by the highest seeded team in each series.

The semifinal winners will advance to a best-of-three finals, with that winner being awarded the John D. Chick Trophy as champions of the Pacific Division; the Chick Trophy has been presented to an AHL division champion annually since 1961-62.

The Condors are currently second in the Pacific Division and would move into first with any victory tonight over Colorado.

Ticketing information, schedule, and more will be announced next week.
