Allentown, PA – The Lehigh Valley Phantoms have loaned forwards Sawyer Boulton and Mason Primeau to the Reading Royals of the ECHL. The Phantoms have also recalled defenseman Sam Sedley from Reading.

Boulton, 20, is a rookie winger from East Amherst, NY who has played in four games with the Phantoms and one game with Reading. Las Friday at Springfield, he recorded his first professional fight in a bout with Sam Bitten.

The 6’0″ prospect was signed by the Phantoms from the London Knights of the OHL where he scored 3-2-5 in 40 games with 63 penalty minutes last season. He is the son of former longtime NHL enforcer Eric Boulton who amassed 1,421 PIM in 654 games with Buffalo, Atlanta and the New York Islanders.

Primeau, 23, is a 6’6″ center with a lefty shot from Toronto, ON. He was injured in the preseason and has yet to play a game in 2024-25. He spent most of the past three seasons with the Henderson (NV) Silver Knights of the AHL.

Last year with Henderson, Primeau scored two goals with four assists for six points in 44 games. He has played in 133 career AHL games with Henderson scoring 10-18-28. Primeau has also appeared in 18 ECHL games with Fort Wayne and Savannah scoring 5-7-12.

Mason Primeau is the son of former NHL veteran Wayne Primeau who played 774 career NHL games with Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, San Jose, Boston, Calgary, and Toronto and is the nephew of former Flyers’ captain Keith Primeau who played six seasons for Philadelphia from 1999-2006.

Sedley, 21, is a 6’0″ right-handed blueliner from Stratford, ON who has played in 17 games with the Reading Royals scoring one goal with nine assists. He scored his first career pro goal on November 9 against the Indy Fuel. Sedley played for the Owen Sound Attack of the OHL for four seasons where he set a team record as the highest-scoring defenseman in Owen Sound history with 168 points on 21 goals with 147 assists in 236 career games. Last year with Owen Sound, Sedley racked up career highs with nine goals and 54 assists for 63 points.

Sedley participated in the last two Flyers Development Camps in the summer and the last two Flyers Rookie Camps and Training Camps.
