ONTARIO, Calif. - The Ontario Reign, back-to-back Pacific Division Champions and proud affiliate of the NHL's 2012 Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings, announced that forward Mario Lamoureux and defenseman Cameron Burt were both named to the All-ECHL Rookie Team.
Lamoureux, 24, has maintained the league lead in rookie scoring with 63 points. With 25 goals, the Grand Forks, ND native ranks second among rookies and is tied for second with 38 assists. His eight game-winning goals ties the lead for all first-year players and ranks third overall. Lamoureux's plus-minus has consistently led the Reign and with a +30 he leads all rookies and is tied for first in the ECHL.
His 2012-13 season was hi-lighted by the 24-year-old's first professional hat trick on November 11 against San Francisco, a four-point, +4 performance against Colorado on January 26, and a total of 15 multi-point games throughout the season. During the 2008-09 season, Lamoureux's brother Jean-Philippe was named to the ECHL All-Rookie team while playing with the Alaska Aces.
