Reading, PA - The Reading Royals, proud ECHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers and Lehigh Valley Phantoms, announced that forward Tag Bertuzzi has been released from his Professional Tryout Agreement (PTO) with the Belleville Senators and returned to Reading.

Bertuzzi, 23, is in his second professional season where he has registered 28 points (13g-15a), 23 penalty minutes and a -10 rating in 52 games. This was Bertuzzi's third stint at the American Hockey League level. The 6'1", 220-pound, left-shot forward played eight games for the Hartford Wolfpack in January where he recorded one assist and four penalty minutes. Additionally, Bertuzzi appeared in the Charlotte Checkers' 5-2 win over the Providence Bruins on December 23, 2022 last season for his AHL debut.
