On August 4, 2014, Gravel continued within the Los Angeles Kings organization, in agreeing to a one-year AHL contract to continue with affiliate, the Monarchs.[1] In his first full professional season in 2014–15, Gravel established a position on the blueline with the Monarchs, contributing to the club's first Calder Cup Championship in their last season in the AHL.
