Editor’s notes: Defenseman Bryan Rodney scored the first goal for the Monarchs. Rodney signed a one year contract with the club but is not a Kings prospect. Bishop is also not a Kings prospect, playing on a tryout agreement. The Monarchs still remain in 11th place overall with 58 points as the teams ahead also won over the weekend.
Game Highlights
I have been listening to a lot of Manchester Monarchs games on I Heart Radio, these kids Tyler Toffoli, Linden Vey and Tanner Pearson Are something special. So are Brandon Kozun and Stefan Legein. I can’t wait until next summer’s training camp after our second Stanley Cup victory in a row!
Me too! Summer camp will be fantastic this year.
