Broda, 21, began the season with Houston and was in his second Joel Brodastint with Bakersfield this season. He joined the Condors for four games in mid-December, registering 7 points (2g,5a) in those games before being recalled to Houston. He came back to Bakersfield on Jan. 19, and since his return has scored 12 goals and 6 assists for 18 points in 19 games. Last week, Broda led the offensive charge for the Condors against Stockton, scoring 5 goals in three games as the Condors swept the Thunder.

 

For his efforts during February, Broda was the runner-up for the ECHL Rookie of the Month. He scored 11 times to go along with 3 assists in February. He also was the runner-up for the ECHL Player of the Week last week.
