On this edition of Throwback Thursday on the Front Office U Show, we welcome back Jeremy Blumes, Head Coach and General Manager of the Ontario Jr. Reign.

Since his last appearance in 2024, the Ontario Jr. Reign captured their second Pacific Division title in three seasons and advanced to nationals, while the organization also earned NCDC Tier II status. Blumes now oversees a growing development model that includes the Ontario Jr. Reign, the San Diego Sabers affiliate program, and, as of January 2026, the St. John Bosco Prep U18 AAA program.

During the conversation, Blumes discusses building a player-first culture, setting expectations and accountability standards, creating pathways to college hockey, and managing the challenges of leading multiple programs. He also shares updates on upcoming tryouts and showcases:

Ontario, California, USA Showcase June 19-21, 2026

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada Showcase June 26-28, 2026
