Irish eyes smiling over Bandits' Condon

The St. Louis Bandits have announced that defenseman Nick Condon has committed to the University of Notre Dame (CCHA) for the 2008-09 season.

Now in his second NAHL season, Condon, 21, has three goals for 36 points in 49 games this year.

“Nick is a slick-skating, dynamic defenseman,” said Bandits coach-GM Jon Cooper. “He should be able to compliment Notre Dame’s defensive group with excellent speed and puck-handling ability.”

A NAHL Top Prospects Tournament participant, Condon, from Wausau, Wis., began his NAHL career last year with Marquette.  He was dealt to the Bandits at this year’s trade deadline.
