It has been a busy morning for the Ontario Reign.

The LA Kings Development Staff made their way to the Inland Empire for the first of a pair of development days today and tomorrow and earlier this morning, we discovered that forward Andrew Crescenzi receive a phone call to join the Kings as they prepare to host the Vancouver Canucks tonight down at Staples Center.

Crescenzi, in his sixth professional season, looks to make his NHL debut tonight and is coming off a three-point performance (two goals, one assist) last Saturday in a 4-1 at San Diego.

For the rest of the Reign, Cal Petersen, Jonny Brodzinski, Justin Auger, Sam Herr, Phil Maillet, Sean Walker, Matt Roy, Stepan Falkovsky, Keegan Iverson, Matt Luff and Boko Imama participated in the development skate while the Rest of the team took advantage of a dry-land workout.
