Brenner and Schaber added; Marciano Acquired

CONDORSTOWN, Calif. – The Bakersfield Condors, ECHL affiliate of the Edmonton Oilers, announced today that the team has signed RW Tyler Brenner and C Chase Schaber. In addition, the team has acquired Alta Loma, Calif. native D Joe Marciano from the Orlando Solar Bears in exchange for future considerations. A full training camp roster will be announced later today.

BRENNER

6’2″, 201, 25 years old, Linwood, Ontario
Enters his third professional season, after playing 32 games during the 2012-13 season in Bakersfield, assigned by the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs, and notched 21pts (8g-13a).
Finished the season with the Toledo Walleye where he registered two goals, and four assists for six points in 21 games.
Has played 29 AHL games, all with the Toronto Marlies, scoring three goals and adding six assists for nine points.
Tremendous collegiate career at Rochester Institute of Technology (R.I.T.) finishing with 102pts (55g-47a) in 108 games.
His 55 goals are tied for most in school history and his time at R.I.T. included a berth in the NCAA Frozen Four.

Troy’s Take: “Tyler is a guy who had some success here in Bakersfield last season. He can play in all situations, plays a physical style of game, but is very skilled for a bigger player.”

SCHABER

Troy’s Take: “I had an opportunity to watch Chase during Oklahoma City’s training camp and was impressed with his skill level and ability. He had a good postseason last year in Idaho and we’re looking forward to seeing him in a Condors sweater.”

MARCIANO
