Ed Solovey announces retirement
Longtime Kings goaltender Ed Solovey has announced the summer 2010 season will be his last. Over the years Ed has proven to be a solid goaltender, stealing more than his share of wins for the Kings when the defense took a night off. Having Ed between the pipes gave the Kings a lot of confidence to do things like having a defenseman join the rush and then get caught up ice on a transition, or send ill-advised clearing passes up the middle. With Ed the Kings won two division championships and are perennial contenders whenever they play.
Ed’s going to finish out the playoffs with us, and said he’d be around for spot starts if needed. The Kings want to thank Ed for the years backstopping us, and we wish Ed the best of luck in his future, hoping he won’t be a stranger to the rink.
