The Kings revealed that goalie Jacob Ingham secured a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 AAV, and the team disclosed in a press statement that he will be loaned to Greenville. This development occurred shortly after Tony Androckitis from Inside AHL Hockey reported that the Ontario Reign and Ingham decided to mutually terminate his AHL contract.

During the summer, Taylor Swift embarked on the Eras Tour, while Ingham kicked off his redemption journey in September with a determined attitude for the season ahead. Following a back injury that caused him to miss the previous season, he inked an AHL contract in the summer. After participating in 24 games in the ECHL and six in the AHL, maintaining a .916 save percentage, he was granted an NHL contract by the organization as a reward.
Spoke with Jacob Ingham after the practice session.
He let me take a picture of his mask where he wrote “Sum 2 Prove”, title of a Lil’ Baby song, as motivation.
And above that he wrote “Binder Crew”, which was the name of the group including himself Akil Thomas and Jacob Doty.… pic.twitter.com/ZVk3Is2lWg
