Reading, PA – The Reading Royals, affiliate of the NHL's Los Angeles Kings and AHL's Manchester Monarchs, have announced that they have acquired right wing Nick Greenough from Augusta for cash considerations.

Greenough, 24, has appeared in just four games this season with the Augusta Lynx. He has been held scoreless and accumulated 14 penalty minutes. The fourth year pro racked up 201 minutes in penalties last season with Augusta in just 45 games. He tallied a goal and eight assists. In 2001-02 while with Mississippi (ECHL), the Windsor, Nova Scotia native set a career in high in penalty minutes with 224 PIMs in 42 games played with the Sea Wolves. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound forward has also appeared in 44 games in the American Hockey League and registered two goals and four points total with 136 penalty minutes.

Royals general manager Ray Delia said Greenough will be a solid addition to the hockey club, "Nick is a tough, experienced winger who will add size and grit to our line up."
