Bakersfield Condors

Mechanics Bank Arena Bakersfield

Originally known as the Bakersfield Fog, the team was founded in 1995 as a charter member of the West Coast Hockey League. The team assumed its current name in 1998 when it moved into the new Centennial Garden. The Condors, and other West Coast Hockey League affiliates, joined the ECHL in 2003.

On January 23, 2014, it was announced that the team was purchased by the Daryl Katz-owned Katz Group of Companies, which also owns the Edmonton Oilers. It was announced in 2015 that the ECHL incarnation of the Condors will be relocating to Norfolk, Virginia to become the ECHL version of the Norfolk Admirals, replacing the original Norfolk Admirals of the American Hockey League in which the original Admirals will be relocating to San Diego, California after this season. The Oklahoma City Barons of the American Hockey League will move to Bakersfield to fill the vacancy. During a Condors game on February 25, it was announced that the AHL team would retain the Bakersfield Condors name.
