The Reading Royals have named Miles Gendron as the team’s captain for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. He becomes the first Royal to wear the “C” since Todd Skirving was named captain for the 2024-25 season, but had his season cut short due to an injury. Gendron, 29, joined the Royals in Mid-November and has put up two goals and six assists for eight points in 28 games. He last wore a letter during the 2021-22 season when he wore an “A” with the Utah Grizzlies . Alec Buther, Ben Meehan, and Brandon Saigeon have all worn an “A” for Reading this season.

The Royals are privileged to name Team Captain!
