Reading, PA - The Reading Royals, proud ECHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers and Lehigh Valley Phantoms, announced that forward Kyle Haskins has signed with the club for the 2025-26 season.

Haskins, 25, is entering his first full professional season after recording seven points (3g-4a), 15 penalty minutes and a -1 rating in 13 regular season games during the 2024-25 campaign between Orlando and Greenville. A native of Huntington, Vermont, Haskins signed a Standard Player Contract (SPC) with Orlando on March 11, 2025 after completing his collegiate career at Canisius University.

"I am excited to a part of the organization and for what the future holds for me with this team," stated Haskins. "I can't wait for the season to start.” 

"Kyle got a small taste of pro hockey at the end of last season, now he has all summer to know what to prepare for,” stated Anthony Peters, Head Coach & General Manager. "He has the ability to make plays and we look forward to seeing what he can do coming into camp.”

With the Golden Griffins, the 5'10", 185-pound, left-shot forward showcased his two-way play, recording 23 points (11g-12a) in 37 games during the 2024-25 season. Over 129 NCAA games between Canisius (2023-25) and Michigan State University (2020-23), Haskins totaled 44 points (16g-28a), 61 penalty minutes and a -35 rating.

Prior to his NCAA career, Haskins played two seasons in the United States Hockey League (USHL) for the Waterloo Black Hawks where he accumulated 43 points (20-23a), 92 penalty minutes and a 18 rating in 106 career games.

At the international level, Haskins played for Team USA in the 2017 U18 Hlinka Gretzky Cup where he was teammates with former Royal Will MacKinnon.
