Play for the Reign

The Ontario Junior Reign is a Junior A hockey team playing out of Center Ice Arena in Ontario, California. Ontario is a quiet bedroom community 40 minutes east of sunny Los Angeles. The Reign plays in the United States Premier Hockey League within the pacific division.

The Reign's primary objective is player development, both on and off the ice.

The OJR has quickly evolved from a playoff-bound expansion team in our first season, to being crowned Pacific division champions this year. With a remarkable combined record of 104-27-4 over the past three seasons, we're proud to be ranked among the top 5 teams in the USPHL, a league with over 72 teams nationwide. 

Our player's on-ice development boasts many advantages. We have seen a number of our players advance to higher levels of Junior, College, and Professional. Along with developing our on-ice program, another source of pride for our team is our players' off-ice development. 

Our coaches, organization, and community value character, commitment, and accountability, while we all work towards getting better each and every day.

“Jeremy has the best interest of his players in mind and wants to move as many of them on to the next level as possible. His consistent winning record as a coach speaks for itself, he always seems to get the most out of his players. Very knowledgeable not only about the game and systems but about team dynamics and how to win!” - Everett Putz, Calgary Mustangs, AJHL

“Coach Jeremy has had a great impact on my playing career. Having played for him my last two years of midget, Jeremy was very influential on my development and preparation for junior hockey. Jeremy has a great sense of what it takes to run a team in terms of identifying player’s strengths both on and off the ice and placing them in positions that will help not only the team succeed but for the player to grow as well.” - Nicholas Sandy, - Iowa State University, ACHA

“Jeremy Blumes was my head coach for 2 seasons. He gave me my first and only commitment to play junior hockey and made sure that I had the opportunity to grow as both a player and a citizen. Jeremy was always the first person at the rink, and the last to leave. This devotion to the game allowed him to create a winning culture and build a strong relationship between the team and the community that supports them.” - Colton Hutchinson, University of Victoria, BCIHL

“Jeremy Blumes is a positive influence on young players. He held our team accountable on and off the ice. At the same time, he was very approachable. I feel because of this I improved as a player under his leadership.” - Ben Sanderson, Vernon Vipers, BCHL, NCAA Colorado College

The United States Premier Hockey League is the nation’s largest junior amateur ice hockey league and the only league to span the continental United States and parts of Canada. From Seattle to San Diego, and from Maine to Florida, the USPHL has a home for student-athletes with the skill and determination to play college hockey.

Overall, across all its divisions, the USPHL had more than 3,100 alumni playing college hockey in 2022-23 and more than 250 playing pro hockey, including in the NHL.

The Las Vegas Showcase is an annual event near the winter break. The showcase draws a number of College Coaches and Scouts leading to opportunities with those schools. Our team's location and exposure to those college programs prove to be a significant advantage for players from our level advancing to post-secondary hockey programs.

Our players' significant off-ice development is a tremendous source of pride for our entire organization. By giving back to our community our players learn indelible life lessons, as well as add valuable experiences to help increase their future educational and employment opportunities. Community involvement also serves as a valuable tool for team building.
