Royals agree to terms with Naclerio

Reading, Pa. –The Reading Royals, ECHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League, announced that the team has agreed to terms with forward Mark Naclerio.

Naclerio, who hails from Milford, Conn., will be kicking off his second full season of professional hockey. Last year, he began the season with the Providence Bruins, with whom he signed an American Hockey League contract.
