The former Calgary Flames assistant coach also wouldnB次元官网网址檛 dispel a scenario, however, where both 16-year-old defencemen Joe Hicketts and Jack Walker could make the team. The speedy blueliners are equal parts flashy, yet undersized.

Last week the Royals made some key signings, led by  that of Czech import goalie, 17-year-old Patrik Polivka. The club also inked four 16-year-olds, forwards Brandon Fushimi and Michael Bell, defenceman Ryan Gagnon and goaltender Michael Herringer. As well, the team received commitment from first round 2012 Bantam picks Tyler Soy and Chaz Reddekopp, second rounder Reagan Nagy and third rounder Matthew Campese.

Fushimi, from Colorado, stands out as the only non-drafted player. After impressing at last yearB次元官网网址檚 rookie camp Fushimi was protected on the RoyalsB次元官网网址� 50-man list. Paired on a line with Tyler Soy, Fushimi led tied Soy in scoring during this year's rookie camp.
