Talking Sports And Fitness With Zeke

Zeke talks with Royals forward Matt Hatch, who is scoring goals while outstanding shutdown line designed to protect leads. Hatch's two-way threat obviously is a huge asset. The forward played 39 games for the Royals last season but the parent Philadelphia Flyers organization let him go in the offseason. Hatch, who won a Division I ice hockey national championship with Union College in 2014, signed with Orlando in August and was released at the end of training camp. Hatch accepts what the business of hockey is ... a business. "You have to very mentally tough," he tells Zeke. Hatch re-signed with Reading and having a familiar system and coaching staff planted the seeds of success. "Coming back to Reading and having a second-year experience has been good for me," he says.
