One could call these days California’s “hockey rush”, if you will.
On February 11, 2015, it was officially announced that the Ontario Reign would be the Kings’ new American Hockey League affiliate – making the jump from the East Coast Hockey League, where the Manchester Monarchs will now be situated.
The press conference took place at the Citizens Business Bank Arena and was hosted by Kings radio announcer Nick Nickson. Luc Robitaille and Rob Blake were on hand to speak with AHL executives before they unveiled the team’s rebranding.
