The Bakersfield Condors will have their entire coaching staff intact this fall following Monday’s announcement that the Edmonton Oilers have signed head coach Colin Chaulk, associate coach Keith McCambridge, assistant coach Adam Krug and goaltending coach Kelly Guard to multi-year contract extensions.

All contracts, according to Ryan Holt, Condors vice president of marketing and communications, were scheduled to expire on June 30. They are new multi-year contracts.

The Condors finished 34-30-6-2 (74 points) in the 2025-26 regular season and made it to the Calder Cup playoffs for the first time since 2024. The team lost in the first round of the Pacific Division playoffs to Coachella Valley.

Chaulk, 49, will enter his fifth season as head coach and his sixth in the organization when he was named the interim head coach in the 2021-22 season when the Oilers fired Dave Tippett and promoted Jay Woodcroft to head coach in the NHL. The Condors went 19-12-2 in that interim run and reached the AHL Pacific Division semifinals.

Chaulk, whose overall record is 164-123-35, has led the Condors to the postseason in four of the last five seasons. This past season the Condors achieved a franchise-best 25-8-3 home record, which was third-best in the AHL. Offensively, the Condors were third overall with an average of 3.39 goals per game and sixth best on the power play at 22.2% overall.

The coaching staff did a solid job of aiding in the development of several Oiler prospects, including rookies Quinn Hutson, Isaac Howard and Josh Samanski.

Hutson tied a team record with 30 goals and led all rookies. He represented the Condors in the AHL All-Star Classic and was named the AHL’s Rookie of the Month in December. Howard, who was the Hobey Baker Award winner in 2024-25 at Michigan State, averaged over a point per game with 50 (24g-26a) in 47 games and was named the AHL’s Player of the Month in December. Both Hutson and Howard were named to the AHL All-Rookie Team. Samanski had 31 points with the Condors before representing Germany at the 2026 Winter Olympics and playing 24 games with the Oilers.

Eleven different players played for both Bakersfield and Edmonton in 2025-26, a total of 249 NHL games. Three players scored their first NHL goals after appearing for the Condors including Hutson, Samanski and Connor Clattenburg.

McCambridge, 52, also enters his fifth season this fall and third as associate coach. Working primarily with the defensive group, McCambridge oversaw the league’s second-best home penalty kill at 88.5% and third best penalty kill in the Pacific Division at 81.9%.

Krug, 43, enters his third season as an assistant coach, working primarily with forwards and the power play. He worked with Hutson, Howard, Samanski and aided in the development of former Condors Matthew Savoie, who was named to the 2025 AHL All-Star Classic and Noah Philp, who played 30 games with the Oilers over the past year. His work aided James Hamblin having a career season in 2025-26 with 27 goals and Viljami Marjala finishing in the top 10 for assists in the AHL.

Guard, 42, enters his third season as the team’s goaltending coach. His work was highlighted by Connor Ingram’s ascension to the Oilers where he played 32 games with Edmonton and five in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Veteran Matt Tomkins set a career high with 20 wins and prospect Connor Ungar went 9-2-2 with a .923 save percentage and had a team-record 51 saves in a game against Abbotsford.

Video coordinator Eddie Fritz, who was already under contract, will remain in his same position.
