Clifford to Monarchs?

It has become Monarchs Day, hasn’t it? The Barrie Colts of the OHL announced today that Kyle Clifford has been assigned to the Monarchs for the rest of the playoffs. Clifford, a second-round pick of the Kings last year who signed an entry-level contract in September, had 28 goals and 29 assists in 58 games with Barrie this season and is known as a very hard-nosed, aggressive player. It will be interesting to see what the Monarchs do with Clifford. Just today, coach Mark Morris mentioned to me that the Monarchs have been using seven defensemen because they have so many players they’d like to get in the lineup. It will be interesting to see if they find a spot for Clifford.
