Reading Royals News Release


READING, PA – The Reading Royals, the ECHL affiliate of the Manchester Monarchs, have announced that goaltender Cody Rudkowsky has been assigned to the club by the St. Louis Blues. Rudkowsky attended the St. Louis Blues training camp, then was reassigned to the Blues AHL affiliate, the Worcester Icecats.

Coach Clancey feels fortunate to have another #1 goaltender on the roster, "It worked out great being able to land Rudkowsky. He is a top caliber goaltender with a lot of experience which will help us up the middle.

The Royals also dealt defenseman Dominic Periard to the Fresno Falcons for future considerations. Periard appeared in the Royals home preseason game against Atlantic City, but sat out the matinee contest against the Bullies yesterday. The Quebec native is currently entering his third professional season.

"Dominic's situation is just a numbers game. We have too many D-men right now so this gives him a chance to play," Clancey said.
