Undrafted 2nd year center Mark Naclerio(67) decides to leave Reading Royals and head to Erste Bank Eishockey Liga signing for the remainder of 2017/2018 with EHC Linz.
He was likely heading towards new career highs scoring 10 goals and 18 assists in 36 ECHL games, which was very close to marks he set last season skating for Atlanta Gladiators (14-19-36), while on reassignment from contract club Providence Bruins.
In 10 AHL contests through 2016/2017 he was less successful with a goal and an assists.
The 6′ 185 lbs. forward initially skated 7 games with the P-Bruins after finishing up four years at Brown University, where he was a decent scorer, especially as a sophomore, when he struck for 16 goals and 19 assists.
The 25-year old should be able to do well in Austria’s top league.
