ONTARIO, Calif. (Jan. 28, 2025) – Ajinomoto Foods North America, a specialty frozen food manufacturer dedicated to delivering products that are delicious, nutritious, and fun, proudly supported The Ontario Reign’s Youth Fantasy Camp this past weekend. The event, which took place on January 4th, 2025, provided local athletes aged 5-17 the unique chance to train like professional hockey players.
The half-day Camp offered participants the rare opportunity to skate on a professional rink while receiving instruction from Reign General Manager Richard Seeley and other team personnel such as former professional women’s hockey player Paige Capistan. Activities included skating drills, shootouts, passing, puck control, and zone entry exercises. All athletes received an exclusive Reign Fantasy Camp jersey presented by Ajinomoto and a ticket to attend that evening’s first 2025 game, against the Coachella Valley Firebirds.
