Bakersfield Condors News Release
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The Bakersfield Condors followed up the first Division Title in team history with a trip to the National Conference Semifinals, capping off a memorable season of accomplishments, awards, graduations and career marks.
But what impact on the 12-year history of the Condors, or the 15 years of professional hockey in Bakersfield, did the players on the 2009-10 squad have? Part IV of our Season in Review takes a look at career marks established, or improved upon, last season.
CAREER MARKS: F Andrew Ianiero was the lone returning Condor to spend the entire season with the club, taking the ice for in his sixth season with the team, and finishing second on the club in scoring. For the third straight season, Ianiero led the Condors in games, and that longevity has served him well. By skating in 396 games played in his Condors career, Ianiero sits only behind Paul Rosebush's 416 on the all-time list. In 2009-10 he also passed Jamie Cooke to move into 2nd in Condors history with 316 points, and became just the fifth player in Condors/Fog history to crack the 100-goal plateau, finishing the season with 102 in his Condors career.
F Matt Pope helped the team win a few games during his two-week stint, and also moved into the Top 25 all-time in goals in Bakersfield history. He is now tied for 24th with 34 goals.
Marty Raymond has stood behind the Condors bench for many Condors milestones, and this season guided his team to the first division title in history. He was the first coach to represent the team at the All-Star Game, and reached Condors marks of 400 games coached, 200 wins, and finished the season with exactly 500 points earned in his Condors career. In Condors history, 22 of the 25 victories in the postseason have been earned by Raymond. He has now led the organization to 52 playoff contests in six full seasons as head coach, compared to 18 playoff games in the six years prior to his tenure.
D Eric Regan had such a successful season in Condorstown that his name shows up on many of the career defenseman scoring lists. His 16 goals is tied for 6th on the Condors career list, and all five players above him (plus the player he is tied with) skated in at least two seasons in Bakersfield. Regan's point total of 50 is 10th, and he is likewise the only one-season player in the Top 10 in defenseman points in team history.
D Sasha Pokulok also pulls in at 9th on the career defenseman scoring list with his 13 tallies from the blueline. Both he and Regan are the only two in the Top 10 in defenseman goal scoring to skate during just one season in Bakersfield.
