Ontario Reign News Release
ONTARIO, Calif. - The Ontario Reign, back-to-back Pacific Division Champions and proud affiliate of the NHL's Los Angeles Kings and Winnipeg Jets, announced that Cameron Burt has signed a professional tryout agreement with the Reign's AHL affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs, and Zach Bell will continue with his junior career with the London Knights of the OHL .
Burt, 26, has nine points (2g, 7a) so far this season playing as both a forward and a defenseman. During the team's seven-game road trip beginning November 8, Burt registered seven of his nine points (2g, 5a) and earned a +9. Burt's second period tally against San Francisco earned him his first-ever game-winning goal.
Last year Burt was named to the ECHL All-Rookie squad after earning 38 points (2g, 36a) in 61 games and posted a plus-minus rating of +18. The Detroit, MI native was the highest scoring Reign defenseman, and second highest scoring rookie defenseman in the ECHL.
Bell, 20, will return to the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) to finish his junior career with the London Knights after playing 14 games with the Reign in his professional debut. Bell's time with the Reign was hi-lighted by his first professional points, two assists, in his second professional appearance on October 23.
A native of Brampton, Ontario, Bell played four full seasons with the Brampton Battalion (now the North Bay Battalion) for a total of 65 points (17g, 48a) in 234 games.
