Reading Royals News Release


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 center Greg Hogeboom ("HOE geh boom") has been selected to serve as an alternate captain for the American Conference in the 2007 RBK Hockey ECHL All-Star Game and Skills Competition to be held at Qwest Arena in Boise, Idaho.

This marks the second consecutive ECHL All-Star selection for Hogeboom (24) (6'0"/204 lbs), who was unable to play in last season's game because he had been re-assigned to Manchester at the time of the game.
