BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The Ontario Reign (42-15-3-3), defending Pacific Division Champions and proud affiliate of the NHL's 2012 Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings, clinched the ECHL Pacific Division crown with a 1-0 shutout over the Bakersfield Condors (19-40-2-3) before a crowd of 4,600 Saturday night at Rabobank Arena.
The Reign and Condors were scoreless late into the game when Derek Couture skated behind the Bakersfield net and fed a pass to rookie forward Mario Lamoureux who snapped a shot past goaltender Scott Greenham for the only marker of the contest. The goal was the 24th of the season for Lamoureux. Kyle Kramer recorded an assist on the play which tied him with David Walker for the all-time lead in Reign assits with 90.
