Walker and Rempal Shine at AHL All-Star Classic

The 2019 AHL All-Star Classic is in the books!
Looking back at the last two days, Ontario Reign defenseman Sean Walker and forward Sheldon Rempal represented Ontario well, as they completed their weekend at the AHL All-Star Classic in Springfield, MA.

Skills Competition
Rempal kicked things off by participating in the first leg of the Puck Control Relay. Rempal's team was victorious over its counterparts from the Eastern Conference, earning the first goal of the evening.

Next up was Walker, who led off the Fastest Skater contest with a time just over 14 seconds. Walker's time was the fifth fastest in the event, but the Western Conference had the faster overall average time, earning another goal in the overall standings.

Rempal and Walker both found success in their second events.

The last event of the competition was the Breakaway Relay, with Rempal unsuccessful on his trademark deke to the backhand, while Walker scored after he chipped the puck in after an attempted diving poke check by Vanacek. The Western Conference took the Skills Competition by a 17-14 final.

All-Star Challenge
The All-Star Challenge began on a high note for the Pacific Division, with both Reign skaters finding the back of the net in Game 1, a 4-2 victory over the North Division. Rempal doubled his team's lead early in the second half, scoring glove side high from the slot.

With just over a minute to play and the game tied at two, Walker sprung into action, skating in alone down the left wing and beating Syracuse's Connor Ingram through the five hole to put the west coast squad ahead with 61 seconds to play.

The Pacific lost both of its remaining games, however Rempal and Walker connected on a goal in both games, including this skillful tally late in the third game against the Central Division. Walker found the back of the net in each game, with Rempal assisting on his final two goals.
We'll see everyone next season, as the event will be held on home ice at Citizens Business Bank Arena. The Reign are excited to host the 2020 AHL All-Star Classic for the first time in California!
