Bakersfield Condors News Release


Bakersfield, Calif. - The Bakersfield Condors are trying to reclaim second place in the West Coast Hockey League standings, and will have their chance this weekend, with a pair of games against the rival San Diego Gulls. The Gulls lead the Condors by just four points in the standings. Both games begin at 7:00pm, and the doors open at 6:00pm.

On Friday night, the first 3,000 fans will receive a Condors 2002-03 team trading card set. Sponsored by Time Warner Cable, FOX Sports 800 and Wm. K. Lyons Insurance, the cards includes full color action shots of the players, with career statistics and bio information on the back.

There is another telecast on Friday night as well, for those who can't make it out to the game in person. All Friday night home games for the remainder of the season can be seen live on Time Warner Cable Ch.21, and rebroadcast the following day at 10:00am.

Finally, there's a good reason to open your bills. It's a Time Warner Cable Family Night on Friday, giving Time Warner subscribers the chance to purchase tickets for just $5 apiece with a special coupon that was included along with their monthly cable bill.

Saturday's game, also against San Diego, features Kevin St. Pierre Bobblehead Giveaway Night. The first 2,000 children 12 and under will receive a bobblehead doll, sponsored by KGET-TV 17 and Carl's Jr. St. Pierre, featured wearing the team's landscape jersey, is the second bobblehead subject of the season, and the fourth in team history, joining Jamie Cooke, Paul Rosebush and Paul Willett.
