Ontario Reign News Release
ONTARIO, Calif. - The Ontario Reign, defending Pacific Division Champions and proud affiliate of the NHL's 2012 Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings, announced the return of goaltender Jean-Francois Berube from the AHL's Manchester Monarchs.
Berube, 21, has been re-assigned to the Reign after his second call-up to the Manchester Monarchs.
The goaltender answered this most recent call on February 6. He appeared in one game during this second trip making 34 saves in a 3-1 loss. Berube received his first call-up of the season on January 7 and returned to the Reign after 11 days; he appeared in one game as their backup goalie.
The Repentigny, Quebec native has had 22 starts with the Reign this season and is currently fourth in the league with a 2.17 goals-against average. With 476 saves Berube has recorded a 0.910 save percentage and a 15-4-2 record including a 7-0 shutout win he earned over San Francisco.

The 6-foot-1, 170-pound goalie was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the fourth round, 95th overall, of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
Backup goaltender Troy Redmann was released after making his second appearance with the Reign in a 1-0 shutout win over Stockton. Redmann had a 2.03 goals-against average and 0.933 save percentage in two games.
