Reading Royals News Release


Reading, PA - The Reading Royals of the ECHL, affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League and the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League, today announced that the team has agreed to terms with defenseman Channing Boe ["BOH"].

The Royals have now announced nineteen players as signed for the 2011-12 season-eleven forwards (Phil Aucoin, Bryan Brutlag, Ryan Cruthers, Joe Cucci, Casey Haines, Olivier Labelle, Chad Painchaud, Richard Purslow, John Scrymgeour, Rob Shearer, and Everett Sheen) and eight defensemen (Dave Cowan, Rob Kwiet, Derrick LaPoint, Louis Liotti, Chris Nutini, David Strathman, Denny Urban and Boe).

Last season, Boe (6'3/211) (25), who hails from Bemidji, Minnesota, scored a career-high five goals and added five assists (ten points) and thirty-four penalty minutes in thirty-eight games at Minnesota State University-Mankato. After the completion of his senior season with the MSU-Mankato Mavericks, Boe joined the ECHL's Wheeling Nailers, where he played eight regular season games and was an integral part of the Nailers' run to the Eastern Conference Finals, playing twelve total playoff games and registering his first pro point (0g-1a) in the process. Boe, who was a two-time alternate captain while at MSU-Mankato, recorded twenty-five points (8g-17a) and 156 penalty minutes in 131 total collegiate games.

The Royals will face the Cincinnati Cyclones in the team's 2011-12 home opener on Saturday, October 22, 2011, at 7:05 pm at the Sovereign Center in Reading, Pennsylvania. The team kicks off the season on the road against the South Carolina Stingrays in North Charleston, South Carolina, on Friday, October 14 (7:05 pm). That game, as with all Royals' road games this year, will be televised live courtesy of Royals TV presented by Boscov's Travel and Royal Caribbean Cruise lines in Berks County, Pennsylvania, on BCTV.
