Los Angeles Kings Background
The Los Angeles Kings are a professional ice hockey team based in Los Angeles, California.. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western
Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). Founded on February 9, 1966,
when Jack Kent Cooke was awarded an NHL expansion franchise for Los Angeles, the
Kings called the The Forum in Inglewood, California (a suburb of Los Angeles)
their home for thirty-two years until they moved to Staples Center in Downtown Los
Angeles to start the 1999–2000 season.
The Los Angeles Kings have not had a great deal of success in their history, winning
their division just once in 1990–91, and failing to get out of the first round
of the playoffs twelve times in the twenty-four seasons they qualified for
post-season play, advancing past the second round just once. Indeed, the high
point in Kings franchise history was when they won their conference championship
for the only time, advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals in the 1992–93 season
only to lose the series to the Montreal Canadiens in five games.
There were few highlights during the 2006–07 season. On January 13, 2007, the
Kings made hockey history by putting Yutaka Fukufuji in goal for the third
period of the game with the St. Louis
Blues. This marked the first time in
hockey history that a Japanese-born player played in an NHL regular season game.
On January 20, 2007, the Kings retired Luc Robitailles jersey in an hour-long
ceremony prior to the game with the Phoenix
Coyotes. It was the fifth Los Angeles Kings
jersey to be retired by the team.
In the 2007–08 off-season, the Kings signed six unrestricted free agents,
including center Michal Handzus, left wings Ladislav Nagy and Kyle Calder, and
defensemen Tom Preissing, Brad Stuart and Jon Klemm. However, despite opening
the season with a win against the defending Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks
in the first NHL regular season game in Europe at the new O2 Arena (also owned
by AEG) in London, England, the new acquisitions did little to change the Kings
fortunes as the team finished with the second worst record in the league. On
June 10, 2008, the team announced the firing of head coach Marc Crawford.
In the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, the Kings had a busy day, starting with a 3-way
trade with the Calgary Flames and the Anaheim Ducks. The Kings traded Mike
Cammalleri to the Flames, and the 28th overall pick to the Ducks. The Kings
received the 12th overall pick (which eventually was traded to the Buffalo
Sabres for the 13th overall pick). The Kings used the 2nd overall pick to select
defenseman Drew Doughty, and the 13th overall pick to select Colten Teubert.
On July 17, 2008, the Kings hired Terry Murray, who became the 22nd head coach
in franchise history. On October 8, 2008, right wing Dustin Brown was named as
the Kings’ fifteenth captain in franchise history. Brown, 23, is also the
youngest captain and the first American-born captain in Kings’ history.
