BAKERSFIELD Calif. - The Bakersfield Condors, host of the 2010-11 ECHL All-Star Classic, today announced that former Rensselaer standout Erik Burgdoerfer has agreed to a contract for the 2010-11 season.
Burgdoerfer, 21, made his professional debut with the Condors last season, appearing in three games after wrapping up his senior campaign at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound blueliner skated in three games, all in Las Vegas, and recorded 10 penalty minutes prior to returning to finish his senior year in the classroom. The East Setauket, New York, native had 7g-12a-19pts in 129 games during his college career at RPI.
"It was exciting doing what I've always wanted to do; the three games were just a taste of hopefully what's to come," Erik says, in reference to his brief stint with the team last season. "I wanted to make sure that I got my education first, though, so I had to return to finish up with school. But this has always been my passion and I'm excited."
