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 the organization has acquired forwards Marc Cavosie ["KAH voe see"] and Brett Hemingway ["HEM ihng way"] from the Columbia Inferno for defenseman Donny Grover and forward Matt Stefanishion. Hemingway was acquired by Columbia in an earlier transaction with the Fresno Falcons for defenseman Bryan Rodney. In a later transaction, Columbia traded Stefanishion to the Falcons for defenseman Dan Glover.

Cavosie (6'0/180) (26), a sixth year pro from Albany, New York, scored two goals and assisted on four others in seventeen games for the Inferno this season. Last year, Covosie, a fourth round pick of the Minnesota Wild in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft, played twenty seven games for Rogle BK in the Swedish Elite League and had six assists. Cavosie, who played his college hockey at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (R.P.I.), was a member of the 2003 Houston Aeros' team that won the American Hockey League's Calder Cup. In his final season at RPI, Cavosie was selected as the Eastern College Athletic Conference Player of the Year and a Hobey Baker Finalist (award given to top NCAA player in men's ice hockey) after a season in which he racked up fifty points (23g-27a=50pts) in thirty-six games.

Hemingway (6'1"/190) (24), a first year pro from Surrey, British Columbia, has scored three goals and assisted on three others (6 points) in thirteen games for the Fresno Falcons. A seventh round pick of the Colorado Avalanche in 2003, Hemingway played four seasons at the University of New Hampshire, where he scored 61 goals and picked up 73 assists (134 points) in 150 games. While at UNH, Hemingway was named to the Hockey East All-Rookie Team in his freshman year, and was honored with the Charles E. Holt Coaches Award, which is given to a team member who makes large contributions on and off the ice, after the conclusion of his senior season.

Donny Grover played three games with Reading and picked up two penalty minutes. Stefanishion scored a goal, assisted on another and picked up seventeen penalty minutes in fifteen games with the Royals.

It is expected that both Cavosie and Hemingway will be in the lineup when the Royals return to action on Friday night against the Dayton Bombers at the E.J. Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio. Game time is 7:00 pm, and the game night broadcast will begin at 6:30 pm with the pre-game warm-up show on ESPN Radio 1240 am in Ephrata, PA, as well as on the internet through the Royals' website, www.royalshockey.com.
