In the year, Hauser set several records for the Kings' AHL affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs. These records included best GAA (1.93), best save percentage (.933), and most shutouts (12). In his third year within the Kings' organization he made his NHL debut, and only game, on January 14, 2006, against the Buffalo Sabres.
