Layton signs pro contract in United States
Graduating La Ronge Ice Wolves defenceman Parker Layton has signed a pro contract with the Columbus River Dragons of the Federal Prospects Hockey League.
“My dad got a call from former coach Bob Beatty, asking if I’d be interested in going to Columbus, Georgia, to play hockey for another month or so,” said Layton in a release issued by the Ice Wolves on Wednesday.
“After some thinking and discussion with my parents, I made the decision to give it a go – and I was very excited.”
In three games with the River Dragons, Layton has recorded two points.
