“Tyler is a player who really found a home here (after being acquired from Gwinnett),” said Condors Head Coach Matt O’Dette. “He does a lot of the little things very well whether it be on the power play or on the penalty kill and he developed into a leader for us. His professionalism really rubbed off on the guys and it’s a great start for us to have him back.”
Helfrich, 24, led the Condors in scoring last season with 50
points (19g-31a) in 65 games. After being acquired on November 21st from the Gwinnett Gladiators, the rookie forward went on to amass 42 points (17g-25a) in 53 games played with Bakersfield, including 11 multiple-point games. The crafty two-way native of Calgary, AB was named the ECHL’s Player of the Week for the week of Dec. 26-Jan. 1 after recording seven points (2g-5a) in four games and served as an alternate captain for the second half of the season.
“I’m excited to pick up where we left off at the end of last season,” Helfrich said. “I’m looking forward to getting this team back in the playoff picture.”
He was the first rookie in Condors history to lead the team in scoring and his 50 points rank fourth all-time among Condors rookies.
