Rich Peverley hasn't played in Reading in 21/2 years, but he still managed to score a crucial assist for the Royals this season in the form of winger Chris Blight.

"Rich Peverley," Blight said, "is the reason why I'm here."

Blight and Peverley grew up together in southern Ontario and later played for rival universities in New York state. The two still talk frequently and, apparently, Peverley helped convince Blight to sign with the Royals in the offseason.
