302 Comments

The Ontario Reign released a team statement today, regarding an update on John Wroblewski, who has been on a leave of absence since December 8.

The statement reads that, in a mutual decision, Wroblewski will not return as Head Coach of the Ontario Reign. Assistant Coaches Chris Hajt and Craig Johnson will continue to lead the coaching staff, as they did during Wroblewski’s absence.

After taking time away from the team on a personal leave of absence, it has been mutually determined that John Wroblewski will not return as Head Coach of the Ontario Reign.

“Thank you to the Ontario Reign and everyone with the LA Kings organization for all of their support during my leave of absence,” Wroblewski said. “After discussions with the team, we have come to an amicable agreement that will allow me to go in a different direction. I’m looking forward to returning to coaching at the appropriate time.”

The Reign will continue with their current coaching staff led by Assistant Coaches Chris Hajt and Craig Johnson.

The Reign are set to resume their schedule tomorrow evening in San Diego. Ontario has compiled the league’s third-best winning percentage to date, with 18 games remaining in their 2021-22 schedule.
