January 31, 2008 - ECHL (ECHL)
Bakersfield Condors News Release
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The Bakersfield Condors have agreed to terms with D Quinn Fair, Head Coach Marty Raymond announced today. The Condors Legend retired from professional hockey after spending four seasons with the Condors from 2000-04.
Fair, 34, skated in 231 games over his four-year Condors career and currently ranks fifth on the Condors all-time games list. The blueliner also ranks among the top three in points (91), goals (24) and assists (67) all-time for Condors defensemen. In 2003-04, his last season of pro hockey, Fair put up the best numbers of his Condors career, tallying 33 points (8g-25a) in 67 games.
The 6-foot-1-inch, 210-pound native of Campbell River, British Columbia played for six different teams throughout his seven-year professional career, including three stops in the American Hockey League with the Baltimore Bandits in 1996-97, Springfield Falcons in 1997-98 and Lowell Lock Monsters in 2000-01. Fair has experience in four professional leagues (AHL, ECHL, WCHL, IHL), and won the ECHL Championship with the Mississippi Sea Wolves in 1998-99. In 447 professional games, he lit the lamp 56 times and recorded 125 assists for 181 career points.
Prior to turning pro, Fair played four years of collegiate hockey from 1992-96 at Kent State University and Bowling Green University. He totaled 74 points (27g, 47a) in 153 NCAA games. After his second year at Kent State, he was selected by the Los Angeles Kings in the 1994 Supplemental Draft before attending Bowling Green.
"Quinn is certainly in phenomenal shape," Raymond said. "We had a need for a defenseman with Scott Balan's injury, and Quinn is a guy who has a lot of experience and can definitely help us out."
Fair will suit up for the Condors for the first time in three and a half years this weekend in Stockton, as Bakersfield faces off against the Thunder Friday and Saturday night. Click here to check out what Quinn Fair had to say after his first practice since returning to Condorstown.
