Morency, a supreme agitator, lands in Bakersfield
By Condors Talk
He won’t be in action this weekend as the Condors play on Friday and Saturday nights in Utah, but a player coach Marty Raymond had been courting since summertime — Pascal Morency — is now a Condor.
Morency (5-foot-10, 197 pounds) has been assigned to the team by the Houston Aeros and is now in Bakersfield.
In a word, Morency is an agitator, although the noun doesn’t really do justice to how easily he can infuriate opposing players. Morency, 28, played for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers in the AHL the past threes seasons, racking up 416 penalty minutes in 105 games (and totaled eight points for good measure) That’s nothing compared to his 2001-02 junior campaign with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagle where he racked up 596 penalty minutes in 64 games.
Oh yes, Mr. Morency can get underneath the skin of other players.
He was in AHL training camp earlier this season with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and recently agreed to a two-way contract with the Aeros.
He is sure to make an impression in his first home game for the Condors on Oct. 29 against the Stockton Thunder.
