2010-11: Weal made his pro debut after signing a three-year, entry-level contract with Los Angeles in March 2011, skating in seven games with the AHL Manchester Monarchs. Prior to signing with the Kings, Weal led the WHL's Regina Pats in scoring in his third season of junior hockey. Weal had one assist and was +1 in limited ice time with the Monarchs and did not play in the AHL playoffs. In 72 games for Regina, he scored 43 goals with 53 assists and was a team-best +13 on a Pats team that finished fifth in its division and missed the WHL playoffs.
Talent Analysis
The diminutive forward sees plenty of ice time alongside top NHL prospect Jordan Eberle, another reason he has become a consistent offensive threat. Weal, a right-handed shooting centerman, is revered for his tenacity on the forecheck and for creating turnovers in the offensive zone.
Future
Weal will return to the WHL for the 2010-11 season.
