Fredricks Continues with Reign

ONTARIO, Calif. – The Ontario Reign, proud affiliate of the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings, announced the return of former Colgate defenseman Jason Fredricks for the 2011-12 season.

Fredricks, 24, was acquired by Ontario in a January 2011 trade with the Utah Grizzlies and immediately established himself as part of the team’s defensive core. The rugged defenseman finished with five points (1g, 4a) and 28 penalty minutes in 39 games with the Reign and a season total of eight points (3g, 5a) and 32 penalty minutes in 60 games.

The Eagle River, Wisconsin native played four seasons with Colgate (ECAC) from 2005 – 2009 before making his professional debut with the Providence Bruins (AHL) in 2009. Fredricks spent the 2009-10 season in South Carolina (ECHL), recording ten points (1g, 9a) and 12 penalty minutes in 23 games with the Stingrays.
