Mariners Game #20 Preview and Discussion: SEA at SDP
Mariners face Padres tonight in Game #20 after tough loss.
Isaac Howard, a former Michigan State hockey player, has been named to the AHL All-Rookie Team after an impressive season with the Bakersfield Condors, scoring 22 goals and 25 assists in 45 games. He also played 29 games in the NHL this year with the Edmonton Oilers.
A former Michigan State hockey standout has received some recognition for his impressive rookie season in the American Hockey League (AHL).
Former Spartans star Isaac Howard was selected to the AHL All-Rookie Team on Wednesday. The AHL All-Rookie Team is voted on by the coaches, players and media representing each of the league’s 32 member cities.
Howard starred for the Bakersfield Condors this season, recording 22 goals and 25 assists across 45 games with the Edmonton Oilers AHL-affiliate. He also played his share of games with the Oilers in the NHL this season, recording two goals and three assists across 29 games played this year in the show.
Howard won the Hobey Baker Award in his final season with the Spartans in 2024-25, and nearly returned for another season at Michigan State this past year before Tampa Bay traded him to Edmonton. Howard clearly was ready to take the next step to the pros and appears destined for a long career in the NHL should his AHL rookie campaign foreshadow what's to come at the highest level.
