Ryan King signs with IceDiggers

The Alpena IceDiggers have signed Ryan King for the 2006-2007 season.

King played in Philadelphia for the Jr. Flyers AAA program last season. The 6-foot, 195-pound right wing played in 24 league games scoring 11 goals and adding seven assists. The York, Penn., native is a senior at York Suburban High School.

"To be able to add a player like Ryan will give us more grit up front," Alpena coach-GM Kenny Miller said. "We believe Ryan will add a scoring touch for us while giving us the type of defensive forward our team needs in our own end."

King is the third player tendered for the upcoming 06-07 season as he joins Chad Billins (Marysville) and Tony Dischler (Madison, Wisc.).
