A few quick notes:

-Oh, that cushy west coast hockey scheduling. After Ontario returns from a December 5-6 set in Charlotte, the Reign won’t leave California until a two-game set at Texas on February 26-27.

-On the other hand, 15 of the club’s final 21 games of the season will take place on the road.

-Freeway Faceoff dates vs San Diego (AHL-Anaheim): November 5 (home), November 27 (away), November 28 (home), December 19 (home), December 26 (away), January 15 (home), January 29 (away), February 20 (away), March 12 (home), March 19 (home), April 15 (away), April 16 (away).
