Kings Sign Hampton and Grant Slukynsky to Entry-Level Deals

The Western Michigan standouts move from NCAA hockey to the Kings’ system.

Overview

  • The Kings signed both brothers to entry-level contracts and placed them with the AHL Ontario Reign on tryouts for the rest of the 2025–26 season.
  • Hampton’s contract runs three years starting next season, and he turns pro after leading college hockey in wins with a 2.30 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage.
  • Grant agreed to a one-year deal after leading Western Michigan with 40 points on 10 goals and 30 assists.
  • The signings followed Western Michigan’s NCAA Tournament exit in the Loveland Regional Final against Denver.
  • The additions add a tournament top goaltender and an undrafted 24-year-old playmaker to the Kings’ development pipeline.
