EL SEGUNDO AND LOS ANGELES, CA — This past weekend has been quite the whirlwind for Los Angeles Kings defenseman prospect Matt Roy.
On Friday night (February 15), Roy played in Ontario, California for the American Hockey League’s Ontario Reign, who dropped a 7-6 decision to the Bakersfield Condors (Edmonton Oilers affiliate).
Roy’s world would change quite suddenly after the game, when he learned that he would be called up to the Kings.
“I found out last night from [Reign head coach] Mike Stothers in Ontario,” said the 23-year-old, 6-1, 206-pound native of Canton, Michigan.
