Manchester Monarchs: July 2011 Archives
The Manchester Monarchs will have a new leading scorer next season.
Skilled right wing Bud Holloway has signed with Skellefteå AIK of the Swedish Elite League for 2011-12. The restricted free agent declined the Kings' qualifying offer, at least temporarily ending his tenure with the team that drafted him in the third round of the 2006 draft.
Both this season (28+33=61) and last (19+28-47), Holloway led the Kings' American Hockey League affiliate in scoring. He helped the Monarchs reach the Eastern Conference Final series in 2010, tying an AHL record with six game-winning goals in a single postseason (out of the seven goals he scored).
But in three pro seasons, the 23-year-old from Wapella, Saskatchewan never got the NHL call-up he desired. He joins Corey Elkins and Oscar Moller on a short list of Kings prospects who have left for Europe this summer.
