Wisconsin Badgers men’s hockey forward Simon Tassy has signed an ATO with the Bakersfield Condors.
The Condors are the AHL affiliate of the Edmonton Oilers and are giving Tassy a shot to prove himself after a stellar collegiate career.
The senior’s time in Madison came to an end in the National Championship game where Wisconsin fell to Denver, 2-1. Now, Tassy has a chance to continue playing.
Bakersfield revealed Tassy would be switching jersey numbers from No. 11 to No. 86 after signing his amateur tryout contract.
It’s worth noting this is different than the entry-level contract some of his teammates signed. Either way, it gives Tassy a chance to play in the AHL, which is a stepping stone to joining Connor McDavid in Edmonton.
