KINGS HOCKEY OPERATIONS
DEAN LOMBARDI – PRESIDENT/GENERAL MANAGER
The Kings entered into a new executive era when the club hired Dean Lombardi as Kings President/General Manager on April 21,
2006. A veteran of 23 NHL seasons in the front office as an executive and a pro scout, Lombardi has a well-earned reputation for
being one of hockey’s true visionaries while possessing a solid track record of success, building from within, and of development on
the ice and infrastructure off the ice.
Lombardi -- formerly a member of the San Jose Sharks front office for 13 years, including seven seasons as General Manager and, prior
to joining the Kings, a Pro Scout for the Philadelphia Flyers -- became the eighth General Manager in Kings history. He is responsible
for all hockey operations decisions, including all NHL player-personnel moves, directing the professional and amateur scouting staffs,
negotiating all contract matters and overseeing the Manchester Monarchs (AHL).
Lombardi is now in his fifth season with the Kings, and due to the hard and patient work of Lombardi and his staff, the Kings are now
in a position where they expect to contend for the playoffs – the Kings last season earned a playoff spot for the first time since 2002 –
while establishing themselves among the NHL’s elite teams. These expectations are the direct result of Lombardi’s first actions on the
job with the Kings, as he immediately went to work on building his club’s reserve list, a methodical process that initially focused
heavily on the need to improve the backend.
As part of that process, which is critical to building and to Lombardi’s overall vision, he revamped and improved the structure of the
club’s scouting staff on the whole and the amateur scouting division in particular. Then Lombardi took the step of creating and
overseeing a player development department to help the franchise take monumental steps forward off the ice, all in an effort to create
and instill a culture of winning.
At the draft table, the Kings have used 38 overall selections from 2006-09 and 43 total since Lombardi was appointed to his position,
including seven in the first round, six in second round and eight in the third round. The Kings have chosen at least one player in each
of these rounds the last five years, and going forward the Kings have each of their seven selections in 2011.
Lombardi has clearly valued the draft more than any other GM in Kings history and the talent the Kings have drafted is the envy of
hockey clubs around the league. Kings players selected by Lombardi and staff include: Drew Doughty (a nominee for the Norris
Trophy in his second NHL season and a member of the 2010 Canadian Olympic Gold Medal-winning hockey club), Wayne
Simmonds, Oscar Moller, Jonathan Bernier, Colten Teubert, Jeff Zatkoff, Thomas Hickey, Brayden Schenn, Kyle Clifford and Derek
Forbort. Throughout the last five years, Lombardi has also resisted altering his plan, and he has complimented the Kings’ roster with
other young players such as Jack Johnson, the third overall selection in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft who Lombardi acquired in a trade,
and with the college free agent signing of Davis Drewiske, who helps bolster a blueline that is now one of the organization’s greatest
strengths.
While the Kings were garnering top talent at the annual NHL Entry Draft and beyond, they were honored. The Kings were graded as
the club with the most successful drafts in the “Future Watch” category in the March 31, 2010, edition of The Hockey News. This
marked the second straight season the Kings – the NHL club with the earliest average draft position of all 30 teams between 2006-09
(11th, 4th, 2nd and 5th) -- were selected by The Hockey News as the top-ranked NHL club in that category.
Meanwhile Lombardi was also identifying a core group of players in Los Angeles to build around. Forwards/captains Dustin Brown
(the youngest captain in Kings history and a member of the 2010 American Olympic Silver Medal-winning club) and Anze Kopitar are
elite NHL forwards who continue to improve their all-around games and grow together at this level. They have helped carry the
offensive load for the Kings the past few seasons while some of the younger prospects have continued to mature and gain valuable
experience.
With a young, solid core in place – a core that also features great character -- Lombardi has been able to compliment that group with
key veterans who sport a winning track record. Players such as Jarret Stoll, Matt Greene, Michal Handzus, Ryan Smyth, Rob Scuderi,
Justin Williams and Alexei Ponikarovsky have all been acquired through trade or free agency, but despite such talent, Lombardi
remains a firm believer that you still draft and develop your homegrown players while complimenting that group in other ways.
Despite adding a number of veteran players, the Kings remain a relatively young team. In 2008-09, the Kings began the season as the
third youngest in the NHL, with an average age of 22.4. Last year’s Kings roster featured an average age of 22.8, and the club’s
average age this year will be similar. This coincides with Lombardi’s philosophy and track record that your team needs to get better
while getting younger.
This past year, the Kings continued to make strides in many ways. The Kings earned 101 points, which was 22 more points than the
year before and the fourth straight year they have improved their point total. Lombardi’s hiring of veteran Head Coach Terry Murray
in 2008 has also helped the Kings develop a defensive-first mentality as the club’s average shots-against-average has improved by
decreasing each of the last three years (32, 28.1 and 27.6). In net, the organization was buoyed last season by the play of goalie
Jonathan Quick, who won a Kings franchise-record 39 regular season games, and with Bernier, the American Hockey League’s Goalie
of the Year.
The Kings roster, as constructed by Lombardi, also features several core players who want to play in Los Angeles. At the time of their
most recent contract signings, Brown inked a six-year contract, Kopitar agreed to seven years, Green agreed to five, Stoll agreed to four
and Johnson agreed to two. Smyth waived his no trade clause to join the Kings and Scuderi had just won a Stanley Cup with
Pittsburgh. Lombardi has accomplished all this with the backing and support of ownership to follow the development course while
positioning the club well under the salary cap now and in the immediate future to help keep the organization’s homegrown talent
long-term.
Lombardi is aided by a talented staff, which is led by Ron Hextall, Jack Ferreira and Jeff Solomon on the hockey operations side, and
Mark Yannetti, Michael Futa, Brent McEwen and Rob Laird in scouting. The Kings scouting staff continues to grow as a unit while
building cohesiveness and continuity. Once the annual draft is completed, the work by the club’s development staff – led by Nelson
Emerson, Mike O’Connell, Kim Dillabaugh, Mike Donnelly and Daryl Evans – begins, as the Kings look to help young prospects
develop and find their identity as they take part in summer development camps and the team’s rookie camp/tournament. The
development team also works with prospects year-round at Manchester and with drafted players, and the team stresses conditioning
and off-ice training more than ever before.
During his tenure as GM in San Jose from 1996-03, meanwhile, Lombardi helped build the Sharks into one of the premier NHL teams
as they reached the playoffs five times – highlighted by two trips to the Western Conference Semifinals – and one Pacific Division title
in 2002 after his club earned a franchise-record 99 points. The Lombardi-led Sharks in 2002 also tied an NHL-record with
consecutive seasons of improved point totals (Bill Torrey/New York Islanders) while building a roster that became progressively
younger in age each season.
He also made many key personnel and player moves, stocking the Sharks organization with a good mix of veteran stars and up-andcoming youngsters, that helped make the Sharks legitimate Stanley Cup contenders, and the year after Lombardi left the franchise -when the Sharks advanced to the Western Conference Finals -- 18 of the players on that playoff club were originally acquired by
Lombardi.
From the NHL Entry Draft, Lombardi was one of the first GMs in the NHL to consistently and aggressively maneuver up and down
the draft boards, making multiple trades to enhance and improve his club’s draft position. His work helped bring San Jose players
like Patrick Marleau, Vesa Toskala, Jonathan Cheechoo, Brad Stuart, Scott Hannan, Marco Sturm, Marcel Goc and Christian Ehrhoff.
The Hockey News ranked the Sharks’ prospects (age 22 and under) as the best in the NHL in 1999-00 and second best in 2000-01.
Lombardi also, upon leaving the Sharks, left the hockey operations division in fine shape for the immediate and long-term future as
the team in 2003 had a plethora of top round draft choices in that summer’s draft (all originally acquired by Lombardi) which
significantly helped set the team up to enjoy their future success.
One of the fore runners in engineering three-way trades, Lombardi’s history in San Jose as it relates to trades/free agency is impressive
too, having brought in such players as Owen Nolan, Teemu Selanne, Adam Graves, Vincent Damphousse, Mike Ricci, Kyle McClaren,
Mike Vernon, Todd Harvey, Bryan Marchment and Scott Thornton. Lombardi was able to keep Evgeni Nabokov during the 2000
Expansion Draft (from two new teams) and he hired Darryl Sutter to be the club’s head coach in 1997 and Ron Wilson in 2002.
An executive in the San Jose front office beginning in 1990, Lombardi first served as Assistant General Manager, a post he held the
previous two seasons with the Minnesota North Stars, for the expansion Sharks before being elevated to Vice President, Director of
Hockey Operations in 1992. Four years later, he was named Executive Vice President and General Manager and given the
responsibility of turning around the young franchise.
In his first season at the helm, the 1996-97 campaign, the Sharks finished with the fourth most improved victory total in the NHL to
begin Lombardi’s impressive streak of year-by-year improvement, which included the five straight post-season appearances from
1997-02 when the Sharks were just one of seven NHL clubs to qualify for the playoffs during that five-year stretch.
Prior to taking over as the club’s GM, Lombardi helped the Sharks construct a team that posted the greatest single-season turnaround
in NHL history when the 1993-94 Sharks earned 82 points and the franchise’s first berth in the playoffs after the team improved by 58
points from the prior season. Another one of Lombardi’s many highlights was the Sharks’ 2000 first-round playoff upset of St. Louis
when San Jose, as the eighth seed, won a seven-game series over the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Blues.
Off the ice, Lombardi was also successful in San Jose for creating and implementing an off-ice model development program that was
designed to improve overall player performance particularly in the area of fundamentals. The principals and philosophies of the
model were based loosely off an advanced program used by Major League Baseball.
Born in Holyoke, Massachusetts, and raised in nearby Ludlow, Lombardi received his undergraduate degree from the University of
New Haven where he finished third in his class. He was the hockey team’s captain his final two seasons and he received a full athletic
scholarship and the school’s Student-Athlete of the Year Award. In 1985, Lombardi earned his Law Degree (with honors) from Tulane
Law School where he specialized in Labor Law.
Prior to joining Minnesota, Lombardi spent three seasons as a player representative, including the representation of five members of
the 1988 United States Olympic Team, and at the time he joined Minnesota’s front office Lombardi was only the second former player
agent to be employed in an NHL front office (Brian Burke/Vancouver Canucks was the other).
Dean and his wife Wandamae reside in Manhattan Beach.
RON HEXTALL – VICE PRESIDENT/ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER
Ron Hextall is in his fifth season with the Kings as Vice President/Assistant General Manager. He also serves as General Manager of the
Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League, the Kings’ primary affiliate.
Hextall, 46 (5/3/64), assists President/General Manager Dean Lombardi in all facets of the Kings Hockey Operations department,
including contract negotiations and player personnel, and overseeing the organization’s top prospects. With Manchester, he oversees
that organization’s hockey operations department, and this past season -- and in 2006-07 -- Manchester advanced to the Eastern
Conference Finals. The Monarchs also made the playoffs in 2007-08.
A native of Brandon, Manitoba, Hextall, prior to joining the Kings, spent the previous four years as Director of Pro Hockey Personnel
for the Philadelphia Flyers, a club for which he played 11 standout seasons. He joined the Flyers front office in 1999 as a Pro Scout
and he was elevated to his most recent position in 2002. In his front office positions with the Flyers, Hextall was instrumental in the
club’s great success, which included three Atlantic Division titles and two trips to the Eastern Conference Finals (losing to eventual
Stanley Cup Champions both times) while the club averaged nearly 102 points per season.
Prior to his role in the front office, Hextall enjoyed a stellar 13-year NHL career as a goaltender for the Flyers, New York Islanders and
Quebec Nordiques that was highlighted by his rookie 1986-87 season with the Flyers. During that season, he was awarded the Vezina
Trophy as the NHL’s top goaltender and the Conn Smythe Trophy as Most Valuable Player in the 1987 Stanley Cup Finals, despite
losing to the Edmonton Oilers in seven games. At the conclusion of Game 7, Hextall became just the fourth player in the then 23-year
history of the trophy to win the award while being a member of the losing team in the Finals. He was also named to both the NHL
All-Rookie and NHL First All-Star Teams that season.
Originally selected by the Flyers in the sixth-round (119th overall) of the 1982 NHL Entry Draft, Ron is the fourth Hextall to play in
the NHL following his father, Bryan Jr., his grandfather, Hall of Famer Bryan, Sr., and his uncle Dennis, who played for the Kings
during the 1969-70 season. He played in 608 regular season games and recorded a 296-214-69 record including 23 shutouts, a 2.97
goals-against-average and a .895 save-percentage, and in 93 playoff games he was 47-43 with two shutouts. He holds numerous
Flyers franchise goaltending records, including an NHL-record 113 penalty minutes in 1988-89. He also owns the franchise records
for most career games played (489), career wins (240), career points (28), career penalty minutes (476) and most career playoff wins
(45) by a Flyers goalie.
Hextall, known for being one of the first goalies to regularly leave the goalmouth and play the puck with his stick and for creative and
unique designs on his goalie mask, also participated in the Stanley Cup Finals with the Flyers in 1997 against the Detroit Red Wings.
On December 8, 1987, he became the first goaltender in the history of the NHL to score a goal by shooting the puck into the net as
the Flyers defeated the Boston Bruins by a score of 5-2 at the Spectrum. On April 11, 1989, during a Flyers 8-5 playoff victory against
the Washington Capitals at the Capital Centre, he collected his second career goal and became the first goalie to score a goal in an
NHL playoff game.
Ron and his wife Diane live in Manhattan Beach with their two daughters Kristin and Rebecca, and two sons Jeffrey and Brett, who
was drafted by the Phoenix Coyotes in the sixth-round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
KINGS COACHING STAFF
TERRY MURRAY – HEAD COACH
Terry Murray was named head coach of the Kings on July 17, 2008. He joined the Kings with a wide range of NHL experience as a
head coach, assistant coach, scout and player.
Formerly the head coach of the Washington Capitals, Florida Panthers and the Philadelphia Flyers, where he led that club to the 1997
Stanley Cup Finals, Murray is the 22nd head coach in Kings history. He has a 440-341-120 record during his 13 NHL seasons as a
head coach. Before joining the Kings, Murray was an assistant coach with the Flyers for four seasons.
In 2008-09, Murray and his coaching staff helped the Kings improve in several categories from 2007-08, including wins, points, goals
against, power play percentage and penalty kill percentage. This past season he helped guide the Kings to a postseason berth for the
first time since 2002 as the Kings won 46 games, which tied for the all-time Kings record; earned 24 road wins to set a new Kings
record; and accumulated 101 points, which is third all-time. Murray also in 2009-10 won his 400th career NHL regular season game
as a head coach and he coached in his 90th career playoff game, and this season, with 11 more wins, he will move into 19th place on
the NHL’s all-time coaching wins list.
As the head coach of the Flyers for three seasons (1994-95 through 1996-97), Murray compiled a 118-64-30 record. In addition to
the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals/Eastern Conference Championship, Murray coached the team to two Atlantic Division Championships
(1995 and 1996).
He began his NHL head coaching career with Washington for five seasons (1989-90 through 1993-94) and compiled a 163-134-28
record with the Capitals. In his first season he helped lead the Capitals to the Eastern Conference Finals. Murray also coached Florida
for three seasons (1998-99 through 2000-01) and compiled a 79-79-42 record, which included a franchise-record 98-point season
and a team-record 43 wins in 1999-00. In all, Murray has guided his club to the playoffs in nine of his 13 seasons, and he has a 4847 playoff record as a head coach.
A native of Shawville, Quebec, Terry and his wife Linda have two daughters, Meaghan and Lindsey.
JOHN STEVENS – ASSISTANT COACH
John Stevens is in his first season with the Kings as an assistant coach. Prior to joining the Kings, Stevens served as the head coach of
the Philadelphia Flyers (2006-09) and had a 120-109-34 record while leading the Flyers to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2008.
The native of Campbellton, New Brunswick, took over as the Flyers head coach on October 22, 2006, after beginning the 2006-07
campaign as the club’s assistant coach. The Flyers were 21-42-11 under Stevens in 2006-07, before having a great turn-around in
2007-08 (the Flyers had an NHL-best 39-point improvement from the year before). Following that season The Hockey News honored
Stevens with their Coach of the Year Award.
In 2007-08 the Flyers went 42-29-11 in the regular season and qualified for the playoffs before eliminating Washington in the first
round and top-seeded Montreal in the second round. Stevens guided Philadelphia to a 99-point season in 2008-09 (44-27-11) and
the team’s second consecutive playoff appearance. He was 13-11-1 to start the 2009-10 campaign before he was relieved of his duties
on December 4, 2009. That Flyers club eventually reached the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals.
Before his NHL coaching tenure, Stevens was the head coach of the Philadelphia Phantoms (the Flyers’ AHL affiliate) for six years
(2000-01 through 2005-06). His Phantoms were 230-181-69, made the playoffs four times and won the Calder Cup Championship
in 2005. He also served as an assistant coach with the club in 1998-99 and 1999-00.
Stevens was drafted by the Flyers (third round, 47th overall) in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft and played parts of five seasons with the
Flyers and Hartford, totaling 10 points (0-10=10) and 48 penalty minutes in 53 NHL regular season games. In 834 career AHL games
Stevens, a defenseman, had 186 points (21-167=188), 1,397 penalty minutes and won three Calder Cups: 1988 with Hershey, 1991
with Springfield (served as team captain) and 1998 with the Phantoms (team captain).

BILL RANFORD – GOALTENDING COACH
Bill Ranford is in his fifth season as the Goaltending Coach with the Kings. He was named to his position on July 10, 2006.
Ranford, 43 (12/14/66), had worked as the Goaltending Consultant with the Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League for two
seasons before joining the Kings. In addition, Ranford -- a two-time Stanley Cup Champion goalie with the Edmonton Oilers in 1988

stellar 15-year NHL playing career following the 1999-00 season. Originally selected by the Boston Bruins in the third-round (52nd
overall) of the 1985 NHL Entry Draft, Ranford had a regular season record of 240-279-76, 15 shutouts, a 3.41 goals-against-average

FROM THE DESK OF DEAN LOMBARDI
The following is a Q & A featuring Kings President/General Manager Dean Lombardi’s thoughts as he and his staff enters a fifth
season with the Kings.
Q: The franchise is coming off a successful season and an exciting trip to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. What are the team
goals for this season?
A: Same mantra as day one, to get better every year. If you get better every year, sooner or later you are going to get to the top.
We must get better and put more responsibility on our younger players. We need them to take responsibility for winning and
build something that is going to last a long time. Last year that certainly happened. We were a better team defensively and we
had more points. We still have some holes, but our younger players took responsibility for winning - particularly in the second
half - and I think we made huge strides. Inevitably you’re going to hit pitfalls when you’re building something, but our goal for
this season is the same as last year and the same as three years ago. We were getting better four years ago, it just didn’t show. I
knew our minor league system was getting better and I knew our scouts where getting better. A lot of times those efforts don’t
show right away. Now it’s all starting to manifest itself and should continue to manifest itself.
Q: What can the players take away from the experience of making the playoffs last year?
A: Learning to deal with pressure. There is a huge difference between playing with expectations and making the playoffs and
making the playoffs as a Cinderella team with no expectations. I think it’s a very different mindset for your athletes to learn to
deal with expectations and pressure versus playing with the house’s money and getting in as Cinderella. This will be the first
season that there are clear expectations on them and learning to deal with that pressure is about being a champion.
Q: Do you believe in the scenario that you need to experience a loss in the playoffs to learn from that and take the next
step?
A: I think historically there has always been something to that, but I think Chicago has shown that it’s not the truth. In
anything in life, you usually learn from your failures more than your successes. I think even last year when we had Vancouver
on the ropes (in the playoffs) you could say, ‘Hey, we had those guys in Game 4 and we let them off the hook.’ You could say
that is a failure because it was staring us right in the face and we let them off the hook. Now you hope they learn that when you
have a team against the wall, you learn to finish the job. The pressure was on Vancouver in that series, not on us, and I think
that gets underestimated when you’re trying to build a champion. The Detroit Red Wings have learned to expect to win and
they find ways to win because of that belief. That’s a huge hurdle to get over and I think part of it is that you have to learn from
failure and become stronger. But, if you go the other way and start losing too much, now you just become a loser. You have to
be careful with that logic.
Q: Earlier this summer you had a big smile on your face when you were talking about the young guys working out and
the veteran guys working out together, interacting during the offoff-season. Is that an example of the type
type of winning
culture that’s developing here?
A: Absolutely. From day one my first year here there was one player who stayed here during the summer, which was appalling.
Now, the veterans are working with the kids and they are working hard but also forming relationships. Everyone can talk
culture but when you talk about real culture, I can’t define it. You can come up with sound bytes and everything but you know
when you see it and you know when you feel it. The transformation I have seen here since day one is incredible and I’m
incredibly proud of what I’ve seen with these kids and veterans. That’s what it’s all about in the end, being a teammate and
liking each other. It’s why I got involved with team sports. If you don’t love that part of sports go play golf or tennis.
Q: Development and scouting was a real priority for you coming in. Can you give us an idea of how those two
departments continue to work together?
A: The integration is very important. It’s one thing to have these departments, but if they don’t interact properly and stay on
the same page and build trust, it doesn’t work. This doesn’t happen overnight. First, it’s within your own development
department, and then there is a crossover where you have to integrate the department with the minor league coaches, the scouts
and eventually the NHL coaches. It’s now reached a level where there is total trust and respect for what everybody is doing and
everybody’s on the same page. The development department itself has continued to get better. I think it is a perfect example
when I say it’s not only players getting better everyday, it’s your staff getting better. The players need to be stimulated. If you
bore the kids, they will tune you out. If they are going to be in the classroom you better find ways to stimulate them and clearly
these kids have embraced this type of teaching. As for scouting, if you talk about learning from your mistakes, well the draft, by
its nature, is a cradle of mistakes. If you can get two players out of every draft, you are doing a hell of a job, which means you
are going to be failing about 80 percent of the time. In the end I think we’ve made progress in how we do things. I still think
there is a lot of room for improvement and that can only come by experience. There is no question that our scouts work their
tails off and use all of their resources.
Q: Dustin Brown and Anze Kopitar are entering their fifth year together on the Kings and they’ve grown together as
players and as leaders. Talk about their
their development and what the future holds for them?
A: Well, it continues to evolve. In terms of progress, the first time Dustin Brown sat in this office he was very quiet. Now he’s
growing daily in terms of understanding what a leader is. He wants to be a leader and take charge. The growth of an athlete is
not only developing your fundamentals but developing as men. He is a classic example of a young man growing as a man and
now progressing to where he can lead men. For some people it comes naturally but like anything else in life, that can be a
learned skill in the right environment. In Kopitar’s case and in Drew Doughty’s case as well, ultimately to be a leader you have
to be the best you can be. You can’t possibly lead or inspire unless those other players look at you and say wow, ‘that guy is the
best he can be and he competes.’ Too many times we confuse the best player with being the best he can be and that’s not
always the case. The real leaders are looked at as the guys who bust their butts everyday to be the best they can be. That’s what
is ultimately respected by other players. The trick is to get your best players to aspire to be the best they can be. This is where
Kopitar and Doughty are critical. Brown gets it. Matt Greene gets it. Last year Kopitar and Doughty showed progress. On our
charts they showed up in average shape, which is not good enough. Their progression is to get to the top so not only are they
great talents, but they compete hard and are in top shape. Then you’ve got it. Montana, Jeter, Kobe or Magic. All of these guys
not only were great talents, they were competitors. Being a competitor means being the best you can be individually. Then you
can look your teammate in the eye and push him to be the best he can be. When your best players are like that, then you’ve got
a franchise that stands for something.
Q: This past summer the Kings signed free agents Alexei Ponikarovsky and Willie Mitchell. Talk about those two
players and what it means for the franchise?
franchise?
A: There are subtle signs that let you know you’re getting better. Like when you go into free agency looking for specific needs
versus just trying to build a roster. Four years ago, I was picking up all these guys through free agency and everyone was
getting excited. I was shaking my head, because that is not the way to build a team and more importantly, usually not the way
to use free agency as a tool. That doesn’t mean you can’t get top players through free agency, but usually that guy has to fit in.
For free agency to be effective, you have to have your nucleus together that’s homegrown. Then you can go out and identify a
specific need. Clearly in Mitchell’s case he is not only a good player but we thought the fit was tremendous. It was the same
thing with Ponikarovsky. After losing Alexander Frolov, we were looking for some size and a guy who could play. We went
after Ilya Kovalchuk because we saw a hole but it’s still got to be the right guy at the right price too. That’s a very different
mindset than when I was looking at the board three or four years ago.
Q: The Kings reserve list is in good shape and the franchise has a wealth of talent, especially at the goaltender and
defenseman positions. Is it fair to say that you’ll find out who iiss ready to make that next step at this training camp?
A: Yes, I’m excited. But making this team is not only what you do in training camp, it’s what you did in the summer to get
yourself physically in shape. How physically mature is your body? What did you do last year in the minor leagues as a pro?
What did you do under pressure in the AHL playoffs last year? How do you respond here in practice right now in terms of
identifying what the coach wants and then obviously playing in the games. Making an NHL team is usually a six part pie.
Training camp is a big part of it, but to be brought along properly it’s also what you have shown at the pro level and what you
did in the AHL playoffs last year. It’s all a part of bringing the kids along the right way and the beauty now is that we don’t
have to hurry our kids. If you don’t have to rush your kids, you can bring them along properly. Then when you bring them up,
they’ve got a winning culture. As a franchise, we’re getting to where players are going to make this team on merit, not because
we’re not very good and maybe they can bring something to the table even though they’re not really ready for the NHL.

KINGS TICKETS MOVING AT RECORD PACE
The 2009-10 season was a record-setting one for the Kings, who returned to the Stanley Cup Playoffs last April for the first time
since 2002. Kings fans can hardly wait for the 2010-11 season to begin, as evidenced by the following positive sales results:
•
•
•
The Kings have renewed 96 percent of their season seats from last year.
The Kings are already sold out in certain season seat price ranges.
The Kings are projecting a record season seat base for the team’s STAPLES Center history and record ticket sales
numbers for the club on the whole in this their 44th season.
“We are extremely excited by the response from Kings fans since the end of last season’s playoff run and the demand for our
tickets is really high right now,” said Kings SVP, Business Operations / CMO Chris McGowan. “We are trending very well in all
of our ticketing categories and are anticipating record breaking attendance this season.”
Last season the Kings sold out 27 total games and led the NHL in increased attendance from the prior season.
2010 NHL ENTRY DRAFT AND LA KINGS HOCKEY FEST ’10
HIGHLIGHT KINGS’ BUSY SUMMER
Training camp serves as the official end to a very busy summer for the Kings franchise as the team hosted both the 2010 NHL
Entry Draft (for the first time ever) and LA Kings Hockey Fest’10.
The Kings selected defenseman Derek Forbort in the first round (15th overall) of the draft to the delight of over 11,000 hockey
fans who watched the event unfold live at STAPLES Center, on Friday, June 25. The draft concluded the following day with the
Kings selecting an additional four prospects.
LA Kings Hockey Fest, a hugely successful event that is now a summer staple for the Kings, took place on Saturday, September
11 at the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo. Highlights of this year’s event included the “State of the Kings” speakers series,
the “Kid’s Press Conference,” the autograph sessions and the LA Kings Pep Rally that closed the all-day event. Also as part of
Hockey Fest, the Kings Care Foundation hosted special fundraising activities to benefit local organizations affected by the tragic
events of September 11, 2001.
