ONTARIO, Calif.- The Ontario Reign, proud affiliate of the NHL's Los Angeles Kings, spent the afternoon at Loma Linda University Children's Hospital with patients of all ages on Tuesday, Dec. 6.
The entire team made the trip from Ontario to Loma Linda to spend time with the children and give out signed Reign gifts. The players visited patients on three floors of the hospital and interacted with dozens of healing children.
At Children's Hospital, patients are given the highest level of care from more than one hundred pediatricians, pediatric surgeons, and sub-specialists. Treatment ranges from healing broken bones to life-threatening illnesses. The hospital boasts one of the largest and most advanced neonatal centers in the world.

The floors are full of fun furniture, colorful playrooms, and lots of toys. While there, the players decorated ornaments, played video games, battled in table-top air hockey, and had some serious board game competitions with the children.
