Morlang has played in all nine games for the Royals this season, scoring three goals and picking up two assists and eleven penalty minutes in those games.

In another transaction, the Royals signed Adam Horvath (5'11"/175; dob: 04/17/79) as an emergency back up goaltender. It is expected that Horvath, who played his college hockey at Buffalo State and was with the Fayetteville FireAntz of the Southern Professional Hockey Season last season, will be in uniform for the Royals this weekend.

On Saturday night, the South Carolina Stingrays visit the Sovereign Center for the one and only time in the regular season this year. Hockey's most prestigious prize, the Stanley Cup will be at the Sovereign Center that night. Fans will have an opportunity to have a photograph taken with the Cup, as the Royals, the ECHL, and NHL join forces to raise money and awareness for the victims of the recent hurricanes in the southern United States.
