Scoop with Stutts: “It’s Easy to Dislike Them”

The Ontario Reign fire back up the SoCal Series against the San Diego Gulls tonight at 7:00 at Valley View Casino Center in San Diego marking the third straight contest the Reign will have seen their Pacific Division rivals.

Last weekend, the Reign earned a 1-0 win in San Diego on Friday and suffered a 4-3 shootout setback in Ontario on Saturday and enter tonight’s matchup on a four-game point streak (3-0-0-1). The Reign will not see the Gulls again until December 22-23 in a home-and-home setup.

Both the Reign and the Gulls have experienced heavy roster turnover in the first few weeks of the season, but Reign Head Coach Mike Stothers feels the core of the rivalry is still there.
