Ontario Reign

Last updated

They became the AHL affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings in 2015 after a franchise swap with the Manchester Monarchs.[1]

Life and work

Budaj led the league that season in wins, goals-against average, save percentage, and shutouts.[2] During the 2016–17 season, the Reign used a father-son goaltender duo, Dusty and Jonah Imoo, in an October 2016 game.[3] For the delayed 2020–21 season, the Reign temporarily relocated to play at the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo.[4][5] During their first season in California, the Reign captured the Pacific Division regular-season championship, finishing with a record of 44 wins, 19 losses, 4 overtime losses, and 1 shootout loss.[6]

For the 2015–16 season, goaltender Peter Budaj received the Aldege “Baz” Bastien Memorial Award, which is given to the AHL's top goaltender.[2] That same season, Sean Backman was the Reign's points leader, recording 21 goals and 34 assists.[6]

What the cited sources add

The Reign's 2026 brand evolution introduced a primary logo with five pistons representing power, precision, pressure, unity, and forward movement.[7] The new logo also includes a mark inspired by the Ontario Motor Speedway.[7] The rebrand moved the color scheme to "Inland Blue" and "Empire Gold."[8] The AHL's announcement about Budaj's award stated that he was only the second goaltender in the previous half-century to achieve 40 wins in an AHL season.[2]
