Chromiak, drafted by the Kings in 2020, started the season with six points (4 G, 2 A) in the Reign\u2019s first 10 games; it was almost an identical start to the previous season. As the season progressed, the 23-year-old forward hit a dry spell. From November 13th to January 21st, Chromiak scored once and couldn\u2019t buy a goal.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Chromie going Back2Back<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ReignTrain?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#ReignTrain<\/a> I <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ONTvsCV?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#ONTvsCV<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1BTYdOJjG6\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/1BTYdOJjG6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ontario Reign (@ontarioreign) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ontarioreign\/status\/1855762299321295304?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">November 10, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It looked like a scoring drought that would never end, and it hampered his defensive performance at times. Despite his offensive struggles, Marco Sturm never gave up on him. In a mid-game lineup adjustment against the Tucson Roadrunners on March 12th, Sturm put Chromiak on a line with veterans <a href=\"https:\/\/theahl.com\/stats\/player\/4879\/86\/charles-hudon\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Charles Hudon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/hockeyroyalty.com\/2025\/08\/30\/la-kings-training-camp-preview-glenn-gawdin-2\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Glenn Gawdin<\/a>.

A much more engaged Chromiak played a vital part in the Reign\u2019s offense down the final stretch. He would score the only goal in the Reign\u2019s two playoff games. When it was all said and done, he set career highs in goals (18), assists (21), and points (39) in his third AHL season.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">CHROMIE SETS THE TONE!!\ud83d\udea8<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ReignTrain?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#ReignTrain<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ONTvsCGY?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#ONTvsCGY<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/abqz2Cqcnm\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/abqz2Cqcnm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ontario Reign (@ontarioreign) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ontarioreign\/status\/1908961751351312655?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 6, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">CHROMIE KICKS US OFF!!\ud83e\udd29<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ReignTrain?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#ReignTrain<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/COLvsONT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#COLvsONT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qoLKYRnuoX\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/qoLKYRnuoX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ontario Reign (@ontarioreign) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ontarioreign\/status\/1912692753080938648?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 17, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Chromi said, \u201cTell me when to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re all tied up\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ReignTrain?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#ReignTrain<\/a> I <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SJvsONT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#SJvsONT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Lwe86nx71G\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/Lwe86nx71G<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ontario Reign (@ontarioreign) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ontarioreign\/status\/1916331560867094722?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 27, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2025-26 outlook<\/p>\n<p>Chromiak re-signed a one-year deal in June after his entry-level contract finished.
