Bakersfield Condors recently announced that Justin Fahsbender will take over the organization’s lead business role as Team President Matt Riley departs.  Riley has been with the Condors since their inaugural season in 1998-1999. Fahsbender, a Bakersfield native, started with the Condors as an intern 22 years ago.

Justin Fahsbender will assume the position of Senior Vice President, Business Operations and Ryan Holt will take on the position of Vice President, Marketing & Communications, while continuing as the team’s play-by-play broadcaster.

“We thank Matt Riley for his passion for the Condors organization and Condors fans over the past two decades,” said OEG Sports & Entertainment President Stew MacDonald. “We are fortunate to have two internal leaders in Justin Fahsbender and Ryan Holt who are more than ready to step up to larger roles with the team. Both are very familiar to Condors fans and our many partners in Condorstown, and we look forward to their expanded influence over the Bakersfield Condors off-ice success.”

On February 9, 2023, OEG Sports and Entertainment and the City of Bakersfield announced a five-year lease renewal, keeping the Oilers American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate in Bakersfield.
