The Reading Royals have announced that they’ve signed defenseman Miles Gendron for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. Gendron, 29, spent last season with the Greenville Swamp Rabbits, where he put up four goals and 10 assists for 14 points in 60 games. This will be Gendron’s second stint with the Royals after putting up one assist in four games with the team during the 2019-20 season. For Reading, this is their second signing in two days, following the signing of forward Austen Swankler yesterday. Defenseman Vicent Sevigny was also recalled to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms yesterday. If Gendron suits up for Reading this weekend, he will become the ninth defenseman to dress for the team this season.
