Reading Royals‘ undrafted right wing Justin Crandall(19) is having a great first pro season.
He currently leads all rookie scoring with 41 points and his 30 assists is tops in the category in 36 ECHL games.
He also has a +4 rating and averages a pair of shots on net per game.
The 5’11” 189 lbs. forward played four years at home state college University Of Minnesota-Duluth with decent results, then upon graduation signed an ato to join Reading for the remainder of 2014/2015 scoring a goal and 2 assists in 4 contests.
He signed pretty quickly in the off season to return so must have liked the atmosphere and figured it would be a good place to start.
Still only just before the halfway point on the hockey calendar but it’s a bit surprising the 23-year old has yet to score a call up to the AHL.
It should happen.
