Los Angeles Kings

Currently, The Kings are ranked at the bottom of their Division this 2020 season. The NHL season has been postponed due to the Corona Virus Situation. I’m so glad that I had a chance to go to a live game before Social Distancing took place.

VENUE: Staples Center in Downtown Los Angeles

TICKETS: purchased online. I showed my barcode on my phone at the door and my tickets were printed out. All four of us were present together.

PARKING: I found metered street parking a few blocks away and used my Disabled Person’s Placard

The only Ice Hockey experience that I can compare this with is the Golden Knights of Las Vegas. T-Mobile Arena is made into a production with lights, smoke, props, etc. The LA Kings are a little less theatrical. However, the fans are just as enthusiastic and loud as ever!

The good thing about this game was that I got to witness a Hat Trick in person by Dustin Brown! It’s unreal how fans will throw their caps onto the ice after a player has made 3 goals! Caps are collected from the ice and usually donated to a worthy charity.

What I learned from this 3-7-20 game was “Kopi, Kopi, Kopi!” (the nickname for the current team captain) and

“Go Kings Go!”
