Reading, PA - The Reading Royals of the ECHL, affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League and the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League, today announced that forward Greg Hogeboom ("HOE geh boom") has been assigned by Manchester to the Royals. Hogeboom (6'0"/204 lbs.) (24), a third year pro from Etobicoke, Ontario, was recalled to Manchester on February 20 and played twelve games with the Monarchs in his latest AHL stint. Over the course of the season, Hogeboom has an assist and six penalty minutes in fifteen total games with Manchester.

It is expected that Hogeboom will be in the Royals' lineup tomorrow night (April 5) (7:00 pm) at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, New Jersey, where Reading takes on the Trenton Titans. Thursday night's game will tape delayed on ESPN Radio due to a scheduling conflict with the Reading Phillies' home opener; but can be heard live on the internet through the Royals' website, www.royalshockey.com, beginning thirty minutes before the opening face-off. There will also be live intermittent updates on ESPN Radio regarding the progress of the Royals' game during the Phillies' broadcast.
