Justin Cohn and Jacob Stoller analyze the Flyers' ECHL affiliate, the Reading Royals. They also discuss future considerations, Hockey Is for Everyone and more.
On this week's episode of The Hockey News On The 'E' Podcast with Jacob Stoller and Justin A. Cohn:
- The Reading Royals are the team of the week. The ECHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers and Lehigh Valley Phantoms are second in the North Division with a 25-12-2 record. There are two players with NHL contracts on the team in Evan Barratt and Mason Millman. Check out the full breakdown of the team at the beginning of the full episode.
- Hunter Jones is the prospect of the week. The 6-foot-5 goaltender plays for the Iowa Heartlanders, the ECHL affiliate of the Minnesota Wild.
- How do future considerations trades actually work in the ECHL? (And no, it's not trading a player for a pizza party.)
- Justin touches on the Hockey Is for Everyone efforts in the ECHL for the past couple of years, from Fort Wayne's Martin Luther King Jr. jerseys to Kalamazoo's rainbow ice and the effects from these initiatives.
- And more, including the Orlando Solar Bears, who like their hockey rough.
