Pacific Division Champs! (4/15/26)

The Ontario Reign clinched the Pacific Division title for the second time in franchise history with a dramatic 3-2 overtime victory over the Coachella Valley Firebirds, sealing their spot in the playoffs with 97 points. Hosts Cam McGuire and Paige Capistran reflect on the thrilling weekend, highlighting three consecutive dramatic wins, including a pivotal 2-1 overtime win against Colorado that had major division implications. Head coach Andrew Lord praised the team's consistency, resilience, and depth, particularly lauding Glenn Godden’s leadership and clutch performances, including his 17-second overtime goal. The Reign’s offensive surge in April—averaging 35 shots per game—was attributed to improved puck possession and defensive structure, with standout performances from Cole Gutman, Martin Kromiak, and Andre Lee. As the team prepares for a first-round bye, the focus shifts to the final two regular-season games against San Diego and Abbotsford, with speculation about player rest and preparation for the postseason. The episode underscores the Reign’s identity as a team built on depth, discipline, and unselfish play, setting a strong foundation for a deep playoff run.
