INCREDIBLE BROADCAST COVERAGE
In a year where fans were not able to attend most home or road games, the Condors thrived through various broadcast platforms to bring the game night experience home to fans.

Every game was broadcast on terrestrial radio on Fox Sports 970 AM and globally through the iHeartRadio App. At home or on the road, AHLTV provided an HD, television quality video stream to bring the action to Condorstown.
AWARDS PILED UP
Cooper Marody, one of the team’s leading scorer, was selected to the Pacific Division All-Star Team.
Max Gildon, one of the top rookie defensemen in the AHL, was named to the AHL’s All-Rookie Team.
