Royals Trade Defenseman Nick Bruneteau to Indy Fuel

Reading, PA – The Reading Royals of the ECHL, affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers of the NHL and the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the AHL, today announced that the team has traded the ECHL rights to defenseman Nick Bruneteau to the Indy Fuel of the ECHL in return for future considerations.

Last season, Bruneteau, who hails from Omaha, Nebraska, joined the Royals in early April after the completion of his senior season at the University of Vermont.

Bruneteau played one post-season contest for Reading and was assessed with two penalty minutes.
