LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles area hockey fans got a head start on the beginning of the 2009-10 hockey season this past weekend with the Los Angeles Kings wrapping up their inaugural HockeyFest on Sunday.

The event, which was held at the Nokia Theatre at LA Live, began on Friday evening and concluded late Sunday afternoon.

The weekend of events included several well-received panel discussions featuring current Kings players, front office staff and alumni, along with a large tent filled with hockey-related games for kids and adults alike and several exhibits, including all of the National Hockey League’s award trophies, except for the Stanley Cup.

HockeyFest 09 was highlighted by Saturday’s panel featuring the famed Triple Crown Line of Marcel Dionne, Charlie Simmer and Dave Taylor along with Sunday’s panel featuring long-time play-by-play announcer Bob Miller.

HockeyFest 09 drew a significant number of fans who were immersed in all things Kings and it appears that the event was a success. Read more of this post

kingscastIf you want to get into the deep, dark, damp (and probably moldy) depths of everything KingsCast, watch this behind-the-scenes episode of Overtime. You’ll get a good laugh out of hearing Keith Korneluk criticize Chris Kaliszewski’s grammar…as if the loser was qualified to criticize anyone or anything… Read more of this post

New On KingsCast: Season Finale and Overtime – Episode 3

Things have changed over at KingsCast, the official fan podcast of the Los Angeles Kings. Not only have they launched a new web site, but Keith Korneluk has returned to the podcast after the lazy bastard blew off the last couple of episodes.

But now Korneluk has returned, making it difficult to listen to the podcast once again without suffering ear damage.

Seriously, Korneluk returns to a less scripted version of KingsCast and there is a new twist…Connie Kim, publisher of the A Queen Among Kings blog, has been added to the cast. Read more of this post
