Reign season started in Bakersfield, which they lost to the Condors 5-0 on Friday. Saturday, they won 8-2 to Bakersfield Condors. Former King prospect and offensive juggernaut, Greg Hogeboom scored a hat trick and added an assist for the Reign.
The only Kings prospect from the Reign so far is Dwight King.
Edit: Forgot Pelech.
Oh, and to clarify... the home opener against the Wranglers is Friday, Oct 30. I'm hoping to make the game, but Friday night gridlock from LA to Ontario does not sound very appealing.
Wow, Hogeboom is back in the organization somehow?
Me and Eyesk8r went to the Wranglers/Grizzlies game on Friday night and saw 3 former Kings prospects. From the Wranglers: Shay Stephenson and Ned Lukacevic (who scored a goal). From the Grizzlies: Josh Meyers.
Did anybody else go to the STH event in Lake Elsinore? It was pretty fun... all the players doing their meet & greet thing...
Coach Taylor offered to sign my five-month old to a contract on the spot. My one-year old followed the dragon around everywhere he went, pulling on his tail. Two free hot dogs per ticket... since I was representin' four tickets, I ate well...
On a side note, I went to the Laker game at CBB last night. I wore my Reign jersey, thinking I'd see at least a few of those... no. No, I was the only douche not wearing Lakers gear in the entire building.
I was so conspicuous, though, that as I was walking to the john in the San Manual club I hear, "Hey, nice jersey". I turned around and coach Taylor gave me a laugh and a high five. He was there with his kid... looked like they were having a good time. I've never found coach Taylor to be anything other than extremely personable and great to interact with.

He was there with most of the Reign team. They were seated up by the media room which i frequently walk in and out of.
