The Ontario Reign are a minor league ice hockey team from Ontario, California set to play in the ECHL by the 2008–09 season. Their home arena will be the Citizens Business Bank Arena. They will be the affiliate team of the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League.^[1]

On February 26, 2008, it was announced that the Reign will be the relocated Texas Wildcatters, as the team was unable to secure an arena lease.^[2]

The name is derived from an abstract noun related to royalty. Its name follows the pattern the Kings have established with two other affiliates: the Manchester Monarchs and secondary ECHL affiliate, the Reading Royals. The name was chosen from a contest held by the team's website, where over 600 entries were submitted. Mike Brewster of Fontana submitted the winning entry.^[1]

The team's logo was unveiled on March 17, 2008.
