Due to the Ontario Reign featuring a large volume of LA Kings prospects this season, each tracker will feature a select number of them on a rotating basis – largely culled from key performances for the prior week.

Tyler Kleven (Ottawa Senators prospect) on the idea of playing with Brock Faber at WJC — We've played together going back to when we were 15. He's a good skater, smart player. And I think his game has really grown the past few years. I'd be excited to partner w/ him again.

— The Mayor (@mayorNHL) December 14, 2021

Media call with LA Kings prospect Brock Faber at Team USA World Jr camp:

— It's nice having some chemistry and experience with some of the guys here. Allows you to just show up and work hard.

— The Mayor (@mayorNHL) December 14, 2021

USA coach Nate Leaman on growth he's seen in Kings prospect Brock Faber — Last year, quiet and unknown; confidence grew throughout. Arrived with confidence on Day 1 this time. Also improved his strength. He's an elite defender & can provide offense from blueline.

    It would be great to have some game changers make the squad. Going scoreless in four games doesn’t look great for Byfield. Those in the know say Turcotte will be a better NHL player than OHL player. Overall, my guess for the future is we’re going to be strong on the defensive end but still lack scoring unless we make trades to change that.
