Drafted 19th overall by the Oilers in the 2011 NHL Draft, Oscar Klefbom has
taken the path less traveled by recent first-round selections within the organization.
His time spent in the Swedish Elite League and American Hockey League (AHL) has
proven successful thus far in the development of the young defenceman as he gets his
shot in the big leagues.

The ECHL’s Bakersfield Condors are preparing for a facelift as they get set to
become the Oilers new American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate next season. Based out
of Bakersfield, California, Condors fans can expect some new faces and a higher level
of hockey, but the storied team name and famed marketing promotions won’t be going
anywhere any time soon.

TODD NELSON
Oilers Interim Coach brings new culture to Locker Room
Chris Wescott
T
ODD NELSON’S COACHING CAREER HAD BEEN BUILDING TOWARD HIS ULTIMATE GOAL – to be an NHL
head coach. So when Oilers General Manager Craig MacTavish called him just before Christmas,
offering him the rare opportunity to achieve that dream, Nelson jumped at the offer.
During Nelson’s formative years as a player destined to
become a head coach, he learned from longtime head
coach Barry Trotz, now with the Washington Capitals, in
the American Hockey League (AHL). Playing under Trotz in
Portland left a deep impression on Nelson and helped form a
foundation of the type of coach he’d eventually evolve into.
Nelson says the biggest thing he took from Trotz was how
to build a team-first culture. That’s something he set out to
do in Edmonton from the moment he took full control of the
Oilers bench on an interim basis.
Nelson gathered the players in the Locker Room before a
Sunday practice in December, shortly after the coaching
transition was made.
“I’ve been really fortunate to play on good hockey teams, I’ve
been really fortunate to coach good hockey teams and my
intention is to make this a good hockey club,” Nelson told
the team. “It’s not normal for me to not make the playoffs.”
Nelson acknowledged the team’s place in the standings and
gave his honest opinion.
“That doesn’t sit well with me,” he told them.
But he then explained what the team would start working
on, and that’s building a team and a culture. Just as Trotz
had showed him as a player, Nelson was trying to show this
group.
“I believe culture is so important with any hockey team or
business for that matter,” Nelson said. “I think that we need
to have a family-first attitude. We all have families away
from the rink, but once we get to the rink we are a family
there. We have to get to a point in time where we care more
about each other than we do ourselves. If we get to that
point where we’re totally unselfish then we’re all fighting
toward a common goal.”
EDMONTONOILERS.COM
l
That meeting with the players was important to Nelson.
The tone-setting messaging was the first step in building
a positive player-coach relationship. The real work then
followed in practice, where Nelson says he demands a lot
from his players.

This give-and-take approach has worked wonders.
Immediately, the practice tempo increased. A few days after
Nelson’s closed-door presentation, the team ran through
some fast-paced drills, followed by a scrimmage, with the
losing team having to skate after.
“We’ve taken more pride in our practices as of late,” Ryan
Nugent-Hopkins said after a particularly spirited practice in
January. “We know that we can be a little bit sloppy out there
at times and I think your work ethic in games starts with
practice. There are a lot of things we wanted to work on and
that’s one of them.”
Increasing the pace of practice was a start, but more
importantly, Nelson wanted to earn the players’ trust.
“I’m standing here before you where trust and respect is a
two-way street,” Nelson told the players. “I’m going to have
to earn yours and you’re going to have to earn mine.”
“We’re staying tighter as a team now and it’s more fun to
play the game,” Nail Yakupov said. “When it’s fun in the
game, it’s better for you and easier for you to play the game
with your teammates.”
Nelson’s aptitude for pushing the right buttons with his
players and instilling a culture comes from experience
gained with the AHL’s Oklahoma City Barons.
Through his first three seasons as a head coach in the
AHL, Nelson dealt with all sorts of team makeups. From
youthful bluelines to veteran cores and scoring aces to
scoring committees, he saw it all. He managed back-to-back
Western Conference Final appearances regardless. Last
season, however, was his most difficult test to date.
The Barons had 152 transactions last season, including 85
before Christmas. The roster flux and mounting injuries set
the team back in the standings. Nelson coached a total of
58 skaters, including an unbelievable nine goaltenders. On
the morning of January 30, 2014, the Barons were a seasonlow 14th place in the Western Conference. From that low
point on, the Barons finished the season 20-7-1-4 on their
way to an eighth-seed finish.
He also brought a “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch
yours” relationship to the team by listening to the players
and accommodating their interests and suggestions on
the culture and environment in the dressing room. He’s
allowed for a looser dressing room, but not without asking
the players for a hard work ethic and execution on the game
plan.

Exclusive to Grafton-Fraser’s Group of stores
It’s common in certain circles to hear that Nelson and his
staff “willed” that team to the playoffs. His efforts did
not go unrewarded, given his personal growth through the
adversity.
“I think the biggest thing is, going through what we did
last year, it made me a better coach with how to make
adjustments, how to use guys in different situations and
basically just how to coach harder. Coaching hard is one
thing but you can’t over coach either and I think it made us
a lot better as a staff that’s for sure,” Nelson said.
“I think last year taught me that you’re never out of a fight,”
he added. “You’ve got to keep on getting better and good
things will happen. It came down to culture, when we gelled
at the right time to finally get our team together.”
Getting a team to come together is something Nelson has
been able to do in previous coaching stops. His challenge at
the NHL level is to do just that with the Oilers. He has now
delivered his message, and is hoping to see the return from
his players.
EDMONTONOILERS.COM
l
“I want our team to get better every day,” Nelson said of
his goals for the remainder of the season. “We’ve got to
continue to improve. What I want to accomplish with this
team is a level of consistency of play that’s going to produce
wins for us. We’ve got to play a fast game, I want to have
that consistent night in and night out.
“For me personally, I’d like to have a winning record. I
want to win as many games as I am able to. But I think the
most important thing is getting this team to play well on a
consistent basis and care about each other. That’s the most
important thing and the wins and losses will take care of
themselves.”
The final message from Nelson to his players? We’re in this
together.
“I have to walk the walk with them,” Nelson said. “You
always have to bring positivity to the rink. There are going to
be good days and bad days but the way I look at it, every day
is a new day and we have to work hard to get better and we
have to do that together.”

they’ve been up to in the New Year.
The perfect place for family-friendly fun and sport, the Beverly
Heights Community Rink celebrated its grand opening on Family
Day with the help of the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation
and Hockey Canada Foundation, who made a joint contribution of
$460,000 to refurbish both the Beacon Heights and
Beverly Heights community rinks.
To encourage a national conversation about mental health,
the Edmonton Oilers dedicated their February 21 game to
Hockey Talks. The event, benefiting the Royal Alexandra
Hospital Foundation for the Child and Adolescent Mental
Health Inpatient Unit and the Oilers Foundation, included the
sale of limited edition, signed hats and discussions around
awareness and assistance for mental health.

After becoming fast friends with Kids with Cancer representative
Avena, Luke Gazdic joined her Hair Massacure team and

DEREK ROY
One of the newest players on the Oilers roster, centreman Derek Roy
has made an immediate impact in Oil Country after being acquired
from the Nashville Predators in December. The NHL veteran was
Buffalo’s second-round pick (32nd overall) back in the 2001 NHL
Draft. Now in his 13th NHL season, the 31-year-old has also spent
time with Dallas, Vancouver, St. Louis and Nashville.
I was born and raised in Rockland, Ontario . When I was
a little kid, all I wanted to be when I grew up was a police
officer, but after I laced up with the
Clarence
when I was seven years
Creek Beavers
old , I knew I wanted to be a hockey player. Back
then, my favourite part of playing was scoring ,
and I grew up idolizing
because
Peter Forsberg
he was an all-around good
player and was fun to watch .
My favourite coach growing up was
and he taught me
my dad
how to skate . My most
memorable hockey moment was winning the
Memorial Cup in 2003 when I played for
the Kitchener Rangers
(OHL) . If I could go back and give
myself one piece of advice it would be to
stretch more !
On game days, my usual breakfast is eggs and
yogurt and my special routine is that I have a
nap and dress from my left side up .
My favourite part of game day is
meal and nap
my pre-game
and the last thing I think about
before I step on the ice is
the team that we’
re
playing .
My first impression of Oil Country was that the city
is extremely passionate about hockey
and during practices, I look forward to working on my
hands and stickhandling.

SUMMER ROSTER SPOTS OPEN FOR
OILERS HOCKEY SCHOOL
By Andrea Rutt
School has never been so cool; Oilers Hockey School presented
by Rogers that is!
The Edmonton Oilers Hockey School is back and ready to fill its
summer roster. Running in July and August, Oilers Hockey School
provides grassroots players between the ages of five and 14 with
the opportunity to develop their skills and character in a fun and
supportive environment.
Partnering with the Okanagan Hockey Academy, who has over
50 years of excellence under their belts, the Oilers Hockey School
will host three week-long sessions at Servus Credit Union Place
in St. Albert and the fourth at the Leduc Recreation Centre.
Participants can sign up for a multitude of camps ranging from
basic skill development to specialized programs.
“My kids really have a lot of fun here, this is our third year,” said
Shane Ramteemal during last year’s camp. “They really enjoy
the level of instruction and the fun they have. My favourite part
about the camp is you can see the development in them and they
really enjoy it.”
Comprehensive on-ice training is complemented with daily office activities and dry-land training, all under the guidance of
EDMONTONOILERS.COM
l
top quality hockey instructors, including former NHL and WHL
players. Participants also receive special guest appearances
from Oilers and Oil Kings players and coaches throughout the
week. While there is no shortage of hockey camps here in the
heart of Oil Country, Oilers Hockey School sees sell-out numbers
every year and a high rate of returning participants.
“What we do here at the Oilers Hockey School goes far beyond
just on ice. We’re giving them the environment to be better
teammates and really become better athletes,” added Brad
Ellard, Oilers Senior Manager, Community & Fan Relations.
From the moment they put on their new Oilers jersey to saying
farewell to their new-found friends, Oilers Hockey School is a
camp that will have everyone wanting to attend summer school.
And it doesn’t end there; all hockey school participants will have
the exclusive opportunity to view an Oilers practice during the
2015-14 season, giving them a sneak peek into the efforts it
takes to compete at the NHL level.

THIS IS OIL COUNTRY
WITH A PAIR OF JANUARY ROSTER MOVES, THE EDMONTON OIL KINGS
ADDED TWO MORE PLAYERS FROM THE CAPITAL REGION TO THEIR
EVER-GROWING STABLE OF LOCAL TALENT.
The Oil Kings called up 16-year-old forward Tyson Gruninger, a
Drayton Valley, AB product, to the full-time roster and swung a
deadline deal with the Calgary Hitmen for Edmonton native Marshall
Donald, meaning 13 of the 24 players on the Oil Kings roster hail
from the Edmonton region.
“It’s nuts. You grow up playing hockey and you grow up watching the
Oil Kings and Oilers play, so being able to play in the building and
wear those colours every night is pretty amazing,” Donald said. “It’s
pretty surreal when you come out of that tunnel.”
Donald, Aaron Irving, Cole Benson and Garan Magnes call Edmonton
home, while Brett Pollock, Ben Carroll and Tyler Robertson are from
Sherwood Park. Patrick Dea and Jake Kohlhauser are St. Albert
natives, while Brandon Ralph (Ft. Saskatchewan), Brandon Baddock
(Vermillion), Andrew Koep (Lloydminster) and Gruninger are also
from the area.
“We’ve been fortunate to be able to draft and acquire a lot of talent
from the Edmonton area,” said Oil Kings general manager Randy
Hansch. “We look all over Western Canada and the United States
for our future prospects, and it’s a testament to the strength on
Edmonton Minor Hockey that those programs have been able to
develop so many players that can compete at the major junior level.
“We certainly value the connection our local players bring. They’re
very eager to be involved and give back to the communities that
raised them.”
Having so many Edmonton-area players also means many of those
players have longstanding relationships with one another. Donald
was a teammate of Carroll’s with the Sherwood Park Crusaders of
the AJHL for two years, for example, while others were long-time
rivals.
“Playing with and against some of the guys I play with now creates
a different bond, for sure. It’s definitely brought me a lot closer to
some of the guys I never thought I’d be friends with,” Irving said.
“Brandon Ralph, I always remember hating to play Brandon Ralph.
He was always a pest out there on the ice.
“Sometimes we joke about some of the things that went on, like in
Bantam, Brett Pollock and I got into a little scrum and almost got
into a fight, and I remember he got the only penalty, and it’s pretty
funny looking back on those times now.”
The Oil Kings suit up for their final regular season home game on
Friday, March 20 at 7 p.m. against the Red Deer Rebels at Rexall
Place. With playoff seeding still yet to be decided, it’s a last chance
for Edmonton to pick up two points on friendly ground.

DEVELOPING THE D-MAN
T
his coming June will mark four years
since Swedish defenceman Oscar
Klefbom heard his name called at the 2011
NHL Draft in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Championship. He scored one goal and tacked on three
assists for four points in six games and went on to be named
one of Sweden’s top three players in the tournament. With it
being the season just ahead of his draft year, North American
scouts definitely started to take notice of the gifted two-way
blueliner with the solid upside of leadership capabilities.
The Edmonton Oilers had already chosen Ryan NugentHopkins first overall and later stepped to the podium to
announce a second first-round choice with a pick obtained
from Los Angeles in the Dustin Penner trade. Klefbom’s name
was called in the 19th spot and he slipped the Oilers jersey
over his head for the first time as an official prospect of the
organization.
And the Oilers clearly liked what they saw as well. Having
struggled with cementing a solid back end in previous years,
the club viewed the young Swede as a potential future star.
Since that fateful day in Minnesota, the 6-foot-3, 210-pound
blueliner has taken the path less traveled by most highlytouted recent first-rounders in the Oilers organization – a
path that has proven successful thus far in the development
of the young defenceman.
After drafting Klefbom 19th overall, Oilers management
commented on the new acquisition.
Klefbom first broke into the ranks of the Swedish Elite League
as a 17 year old with the Farjestad organization during
the 2010-11 season. That year also saw Klefbom captain
Sweden’s silver-medal team at the 2011 IIHF U-18 World

“He’s a big man and a great skater. He can play against
speed, he can play against size, he has a great stick and he’s
very competitive. Maybe even more important for us is that he
brings an element of leadership. It’s been asked if he’s ready
l
EDMONTONOILERS.COM
for the NHL and I don’t think we need to answer that just yet.
If he’s ready in a year or if he’s ready sooner, we don’t feel we
need to rush this young man.”
It was that decision to not rush the young blueliner that
would play so crucial into his journey of successfully
developing into a competitive top-four defenceman at the
NHL level.
The 2011-12 season would see Klefbom continue
to work his way into the lineup with Farjestad in
Sweden. It was that year that Klefbom would
once again get the opportunity to showcase his
talents on the international stage, suiting
up for Sweden at the 2012 World Junior
Championship. Moreover, he would be on
display right in front of his prospective
NHL club as the Juniors hit the ice in the
host cities of Edmonton and Calgary –
and he didn’t fail to impress.
The big D-man would go +8 with a goal
and an assist enroute to a gold medal
when the Swedes handed Russia a 1-0
decision in the championship game in
Calgary. The kid was looking good and the
Oilers must have thought so too, because in
June of 2012 they signed him to a three-year, entrylevel deal. It was another huge step closer to what
Kelfbom considered his main goal.
“It’s the biggest day of my life. It’s really a dream
come true,” he said nervously at the time when
asked about the emotions involved with inking his
first NHL deal. “Edmonton is a great organization with
a lot of proud history behind it. It feels really good.”
It looked like Klefbom was getting close to making his NHL
debut, but in the interest of sticking to his slow and steady
development plan, Klefbom was set to play another season
back in Sweden before joining the Oilers organization in
2013-14. Both Klefbom and the Oilers were understandably
eager to see him in orange and blue, but ultimately opted to
keep him at home for another campaign.
“I don’t want to come over and feel like I’m not ready,”
Klefbom said of the decision. “I think Farjestad is a really
good opportunity for me to be a really good player.”

Like any true success story, Klefbom’s didn’t come without
a few bumps along the road. He ended up playing just 11
games during the 2012-13 campaign before a season-ending
shoulder injury threw a wrench into his development plan. He
would spend the latter half of the season rehabilitating his
shoulder in Edmonton, but he managed to find the upside to
some poor circumstances.
“I try to see everything positively. I got the ability to come
to Edmonton and meet all the coaching staff and all the
trainers to get to know them. I think that made the transition
easier when I finally got here,” Klefbom said of his rehab in
Edmonton.
After a long road to recovery, Klefbom was looking like he was
finally ready to make that leap to the North American game.
But there would be a couple more hurdles to jump. He was
sent to the AHL with the Oklahoma City Barons to gauge what
level he was at after his previous season was cut short.
“When we first got Oscar, he had not played the whole
previous season,” said then Barons Head Coach Todd Nelson,
now the Oilers interim bench boss. “There is always a bigger
adjustment for European players coming over to North
America.”
And despite being very confident in the young man’s ability,
Nelson admitted there were some growing pains.
“His first three months in OKC were really up and down. He
struggled some nights and some nights he prospered,” said
Nelson. “But that’s what you see down there. You see players
trying to develop their game and he really benefited from
being down and definitely gained confidence.”
It seemed that some time in the minors was exactly the
type of transition phase the big Swede needed. Klefbom’s
hard work paid off with his NHL debut on March 11, 2014
after being recalled from OKC near the end of the season.

He went on to finish the season with the big club, making 17
appearances and even notching his first NHL goal on March 28,
2014 against the Anaheim Ducks. The goal was a microcosm
of his NHL capabilities, as he showed some offensive prowess
after gliding into the slot, corralling a quick pass from David
Perron and snapping a precision shot past Jonas Hiller.
Despite a strong showing during his first crack at the big
leagues, Klefbom would have to show a little bit more patience
and maturity as he wasn’t given a roster spot with the Oilers
at the beginning of the 2014-15 season. As it would turn out,
though, he was even closer than it seemed.
Klefbom started the season with the OKC Barons and put up
some impressive numbers right out of the gate, indicating
his days just might be numbered on the farm. Klefbom,
who had eight points and a +10 rating in nine games
with OKC, was recalled in November and his play since
has proven he might just be ready to stay in the show for
good – especially given what Nelson felt about what he was
seeing.
“This year, he spent some more time in Oklahoma City
and you saw him develop a little more confidence. Right
now I think we’re seeing a good, young defenceman that’s
going to be a good defenceman for quite a while in the
National Hockey League,” he said. “I like the way that he’s
progressing. He wouldn’t have gotten to this point if he did
not spend that time in the minors.”
The journey from his draft day to this season has been
long and certainly full of challenges, but the young man
is feeling as confident in himself as his coach is and
said the history between the two has helped his cause.
“Todd knows what he can expect from me as a
player so I don’t feel like I have any pressure on
me with him,” Klefbom said. “I have a lot of
confidence on the ice and it’s fun to play. I just
try to enjoy every day up here and it feels good.”
The organization’s plan to not rush the young
defenceman, dating back to his draft day
almost four years ago, is proving to be the
recipe for success. Both player and team have
stayed the course and Klefbom has shown
lately what the Oilers had hoped for all along.
He has solid breakout capabilities, he is very
strong in the corners, he has the ability to
play big minutes and his offensive game has
shown progression. This, all coming before
the defenceman has seen a full season at the
NHL level.
Klefbom, the Oilers and the fans are right to
be excited about the future of this young
D-man.

GREEN SPORTS ALLIANCE GIVES ROGERS PLACE
TWO (GREEN) THUMBS UP
First LEED-Silver NHL facility in Canada
By Kelsey Spohn
There’s no doubt that the future looks bright for Rogers Place, the
soon-to-be home of the Edmonton Oilers (NHL) and the Edmonton
Oil Kings (WHL), with its doors slated to open for the 2016-17
season. With the new arena’s construction in full swing and things
looking up, literally, the project is also trailblazing in all-things
‘green’. Rogers Place, in the heart of downtown Edmonton, will be
the first LEED Silver-certified NHL facility in Canada. This stateof-the-art facility will act as a catalyst to the city’s downtown core
while also setting the bar for future growth and sustainability.
It’s certainly the golden age of stadium sustainability all over the
world as there has been an explosion of interest in green building
design in the last few years. Globally, stadiums are incorporating
environmental intelligent operations into their design right from the
start. Despite this, being LEED-certified is a rare feat, with only 20
stadiums or arenas meeting this standard in professional sports.
“Being LEED-Silver certified establishes Rogers Place as one of the
leading environmental venues in North America and around the
world. There aren’t even two dozen professional sports venues that
are LEED-certified so it’s quite the achievement,” said Dr. Allen
Hershkowitz, President and Co-founder, Green Sports Alliance. “It’s
a confirmation of smart operations. It’s a confirmation that Rogers
Place is committed to a healthy community and Edmonton’s future
generations.”
Dr. Allen Hershkowitz, formerly a 26-year Senior Scientist at
the Natural Resources Defence Council in the United States, is
renowned in the green community for his work as co-founder of
the Green Sports Alliance, a non-profit that helps sports teams,
leagues and venues enhance their environmental stewardship,
as well as his role in co-founding NHL Green in 2008 alongside
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. He serves as the NHL’s principal
environmental advisor and has been involved in a number of
EDMONTONOILERS.COM
l
stadium operation projects. Dr. Hershkowitz emphasises that being
LEED-Silver sends a strong message across pro sports and to
your fan base. Of course, he hopes that more NHL teams will look
to Rogers Place when it’s time for new arenas in their respective
cities.
Beyond waste reduction, Rogers Place’s LEED-Silver certification
will be anchored by other sustainable efficiencies including
development density, transportation, reducing water use and
optimizing energy performance.
Extensive energy modelling will be in place to reduce overall
energy consumption and focus on efficiency. To reduce its carbon
footprint, there will be heat recovery ventilation and central control
of heating, cooling and lighting systems. Going above standard
requirements, Rogers Place will have a highly insulated building
envelope as well.
With Rogers Place located in an energy-producing province,
environmental excellence is a key pillar for both Rogers Place and
its partner, the City of Edmonton. The City of Edmonton mandates
that all City-owned facilities, including Rogers Place, are LEED
certified. They are championing green initiatives while also looking
to break out as the premier sports and entertainment facility in
North America. A testament echoed by Dr. Hershkowitz.
“Rogers Place is a beautiful design and it’s confirming the
fact that you can have beautiful, cutting-edge design and
environmental efficiency working together.”
There’s no denying that Rogers Place will be an architectural gem
in the downtown core with its modern design and world-class
amenities, but its environmental stewardship will help ensure fans
and the City of Edmonton have a premier facility to appreciate well
into the future.

ANDY MOOG
and what they’re doing was probably the most enjoyable
part of the week and celebration for me.
HE OILERS 132ND OVERALL PICK IN THE 1980 NHL DRAFT,
ANDY MOOG spent seven seasons in Oil Country. Moog
is a three-time Stanley Cup champion, winning with the
Oilers in 1984, 1985 and 1987. Traded to the Boston Bruins
at the trade deadline of the 1987-88 season, Moog earned the
1989–90 William M. Jennings Trophy for fewest total goals
against during the regular season, sharing the trophy with
his Bruins goaltending partner, Reggie Lemelin. Moog’s NHL
career spanned 18 years, playing between the pipes for the
Dallas Stars and Montreal Canadiens as well.
What is your favourite memory from your first career
Stanley Cup win with the Oilers in 1983-84?
Getting the chance to play after Grant Fuhr was injured
was probably the highlight for me – of course not his
injury, but being able to contribute more was special. I had
gone through the year before on my own and we lost to the
Islanders. If anything at all, just being part of it and being
able to contribute was huge – that’s something as a player
that you always want to do and so playing in that series
was extremely rewarding.
On October 10, 2014, Oil Country celebrated the 1984
Stanley Cup Champions Legacy Reunion. What did the
experience mean to you?
I really enjoyed the opportunity to reconnect with all of my
teammates, staff and people that I hadn’t seen in a long,
long time. Those championships will always be ours and we
all have the fondest memories from that time in Edmonton,
but reconnecting with some of the people and some of the
characters on the team and finding out where they are now
Who had the hardest shot to stop in the League?
The most difficult shot for me to handle was Mike Bossy’s
(New York Islanders) for sure. He was one of those guys
who knew how to get in a position to shoot and took no
time when it was time for him to shoot. He probably offered
up the hardest and biggest challenge for me as a goalie.
You hung up the pads and retired in 1998 after playing
for 18 years in the NHL. What do you miss the most?
The instant and always available network of teammates
and friends. I definitely miss the social side of the game
to be honest. Back then, every day when you woke up and
went to the rink, there was a group of guys there waiting
to hang out and that felt pretty cool to have that network
there every day of your hockey season.
You’re currently working in Dallas as the Goaltender
Development Coach for both the Dallas Stars and Texas
Stars. What’s the most important lesson you try to pass
on to young players in their system?
I guess if there was one aspect of the game that I would
relate to any goaltender attempting to have a career as a
professional, I would tell them that they have to stay in
the moment – where you are and what you’re doing is the
most important thing you can do for the development
of your career and if you’re the type of player that’s
thinking ahead to where you should be in two months,
two years or four years then you’re going to be at a
disadvantage. The ones who can stay focused no
matter where they are, who they are playing against or
what time of year it is are the ones that develop their
career best.

CONDORS HERE TO STAY
Chris Wescott
As the old adage goes: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
As Bakersfield is set to become the Oilers new American Hockey League (AHL)
affiliate next season, they do so as the Condors. Following an announcement on
January 29, 2015 that Bakersfield will be part of a brand-new Pacific Division of the
AHL, the California team quickly got to work, asking for submissions for a ‘Name
the AHL Team’ contest.
EDMONTONOILERS.COM

THIS IS OIL COUNTRY
While there was once a team called the Bakersfield Oilers
in the 1940s, Bakersfield has since come to be known as
‘Condorstown’, home of one of the most fun franchises in
professional hockey.
Known for their unique promotions and marketing antics,
the Condors have been featured on various news networks
and entertainment shows in the United States. It’s not just a
marketing campaign, the ‘Condors way’ is a lifestyle.
A
fter receiving over 1,000 submissions and 100 unique
name suggestions from fans, with some very strong
contenders in the fold, the old idiom above seemed to ring
true as fans voted loud and clear to keep the storied Condors
name.
“Fans had a lot of fun with it, we had a lot of fun with it and I
think we got a pretty good sense and a pretty good feel of what
people wanted to do,” said Condors President Matthew Riley.
“The Condors have a great legacy in the community of
Bakersfield and a great reputation in minor hockey for their
creative and fun, family-oriented atmosphere at the Rabobank
Arena,” said Oilers Entertainment Group Vice Chair Kevin Lowe.
“What better way to build a strong future in the AHL Pacific
Division than to build off the great Condors brand.”

“There is never a boring day and it’s 24/7, 365 days,” Riley
said. “No ideas are dumb and even if they don’t work, they
might be birdseed for other ideas. You keep throwing them up
to the wall and eventually some things stick. Some of them
work, some of them don’t but you have a lot of fun trying.”
Gettysburg Address, The Hobbit and Fifty Shades of Grey
themed jerseys, Charlie Sheen and Seinfeld Nights, and offering
Justin Bieber a contract are just a few of their famed in-game
promotions. One of their most memorable moments, however,
came when they brought a live Condor on the ice during the
National Anthem on February 8, 2013. The bird elicited many
laughs from fans and even garnered international coverage
when it decided to take off on its handler, roaming the ice and
players bench pre-game.
On the more serious side of things, the Condors have won 25
front office awards from the ECHL as well as three Beautiful
Bakersfield Humanitarian Awards for their efforts in the
community. The club has been extremely supportive of the
l
EDMONTONOILERS.COM
community and the city, raising over $4.6 million in cash and
goods for non-profits in Bakersfield and Kern County.
Beginning in 2015-16, five NHL teams will relocate their
affiliates to California. Along with Bakersfield, San Diego
(Anaheim Ducks), Stockton (Calgary Flames), Ontario (Los
Angeles Kings) and San Jose (San Jose Sharks) will each have
teams in the new Pacific Division.
“The organization is really excited about the move,” said Oilers
Assistant General Manager Bill Scott. “When we purchased
Bakersfield last January, we knew that this was a possibility.
We knew the wheels were in motion by some other NHL teams to
move their AHL clubs out west.
practice time and workout time for our guys, cut back on the
games a little bit and really focus on the one-on-one individual
skills. We think there’s a huge benefit in going out west and we
should see some dividends from it down the road.”
The Barons closest opponent was close to six hours away, in
Cedar Park, Texas. With five teams in close proximity to one
another, the Oilers estimate between 20 to 25 extra practice days
in Bakersfield. There may be less games in the schedule for the
Pacific Division as well.
“We were very happy in Oklahoma City, we had a great
experience there but we came to the decision with Prodigal (the
Oklahoma City Barons operating company) to mutually part
ways at the end of our term this year. For us, we were at least
mentally set up that if we weren’t able to return to Oklahoma
City that we’d have a great place to play in Bakersfield and
really be a linchpin in that AHL division with two teams to the
south and two teams to the north of us.”
In addition to helping grow hockey in California, the Oilers are
hopeful the Condors will help continue the development model
they built in Oklahoma City.
“We feel really good about moving our operations out there,
moving our staff out there and players,” said Scott. “It’s going
to really allow us to grow our development program given more

Keeping
safety top of mind,
24/7
In a split second, Jason’s morning commute turned into a life or death situation. A truck had hit a semi-trailer just outside of Lloydminster and left a father pinned
inside while his 10 year-old son escaped through the back window and flames
erupted and spread toward the fuel tank. Quick thinking and Devon safety training
took over. Jason extinguished the flames and kept the father calm until the
emergency crews arrived.
At Devon Canada, we’re focused on energy and committed to safety.

made with glass and the dasher board system,” said Riley.
“Then down in the locker room we’re expanding it and adding
on to it. Obviously, the Oilers want to get their players up and
prepared a certain way to be world-class athletes. There are
certain things that come with that so we’re in the process of
working with local contractors and architects, the City and AEG
– our landlord along with the City – to bring all that to a reality.
It’s a huge project. It’s transitioning from one league to another
and all that comes with it.”
“You think about adding another month of development for your
team,” said Scott. “That’s an asset to have in your schedule for
your players. We see it as an advantage and a huge opportunity
for our guys to get better.”
“There’s more time to be on ice and be specific about
deficiencies in young players’ games that they can work on,”
added Lowe. “You can give them one-on-one drills where they
can hone their skills. That’s been lacking due to the amount of
games they play in the current league.”
In order to ensure development with their young prospects, the
Oilers and the Condors are working on making alterations to
the facilities in Bakersfield. The Condors play out of Rabobank
Arena which broke ground in 1997. The city and the team are
working towards upgrades to help the arena be AHL ready by
next season.
“A number of things are going on and they’re obviously still in
the embryonic stages, but we need to get some adjustments
EDMONTONOILERS.COM
l
While changes to both the arena and the hockey club are being
made in preparation for next season, fans can be assured the
core of the Condors will remain the same.
“We’re not going to change anything on the business side of it,”
said Scott. “We want to continue to bring a winning product to
our AHL city, we want to have great crowds, great fans, which
they’ve already done a nice job with in Bakersfield with their
ECHL team. And we think that’s only going to grow with the AHL
being there with a better level of hockey and also having a lot
of California rivalries in there. It’s going to be great for hockey
in the state of California.”
So what should we expect from these old-new Condors in the
coming years?
“The Oilers have allowed us to still have our autonomy, but also
offer the resources and support that they can offer,” said Riley.
“It’s really been fantastic and nothing but bigger and better to
come.”
