SEASON SYNOPSIS
The Ontario Reign had a very impressive 2021-22 season in a battle against the Stockton Heat for the top spot in the Pacific Division. They finished the regular season with a 41-18-5-4 record and fell in their second playoff round after sweeping the San Diego Gulls in the first round. Their postseason hopes were cut short by a sweep from the Colorado Eagles.
Centerman T.J. Tynan was a force for the Reign, almost reaching the 100-point accomplishment through the regular season. Interestingly enough, it was driven mainly by assists. Tynan had 14 goals and 84 assists through the regular season for a total of 98 points. This performance earned him the Les Cunningham Award for the AHL’s most valuable player for the second year in a row. Forward Martin Frk was close behind in scoring with 73 points on 40 goals and 33 assists.
