  Reign, part 3: Barry Kemp, the Reign president and co-owner, knows something about entertainment.He told Monday's audience that it usually takes a year to get a television show on the air, and almost five years for a movie.He said it takes about nine to 10 years for an arena.
  
  "We saw a potential market then," said Kemp, "and we're just months from realizing that potential."...

  "All of those things definitely make the game a tough sell," said Kemp, whose father, Barry Kemp, is part owner of the Reign and for 10 years was the owner of the Long Beach Ice Dogs, which played in three different minor leagues.
  ...
  The Reign will affiliate with the Los Angeles Kings - similar to a Double A baseball team, Kemp said - and will play in the ECHL, a 25-team league with 24 teams in the United States and one in Canada.
  
  ECHL once stood for East Coast Hockey League, but when the league took over 10 teams from the defunct West Coast Hockey League, that name longer made sense.But league officials decided to keep the ECHL moniker because fans and corporate sponsors were familiar with it.
  
  "That's our first marketing problem," Kemp said."It doesn't make any sense, but you have to sell it to people anyway.The one thing we have going for us is our affiliation with the Kings.They've been playing since 1967, and being able to mention our connection with them gives us some credibility."
  
  Since January 2007 Kemp has worked on marketing plans for the Reign and meeting with civic groups and forming corporate partnerships.

  While he was owner of the Long Beach Ice Dogs, Kemp began talks with Ontario officials about a minor league hockey team as the anchor tenant for a private arena.
  
  "We were going to try to privatize it and worked a couple years on that, but it was never brought to fruition," Kemp said."Then, growth in the area increased and land value increased dramatically, which made it possible for the city to build the arena."About four years ago, Kemp returned to discussions â€" this time to partner in managing the arena and the Reign, which plays its first home game Oct. 25.He and AEG each own part of both the venue and team.
  
  AEG, a subsidiary of the Anschutz Co., owns or controls a number of teams and properties, including the Los Angeles Kings and Staples Center.
  
  With a career in television and film production, Kemp knows what it takes to entertain a crowd, and he plans to do just that.
  
  "Now we have a facility with the electrical capacity to put on a great show for sports fans and non-sports fans," he said.
