Employee Spotlight: Black History Month

The LA Kings are proud to celebrate Black individuals in and around the sport of hockey. This month, as part of Black History Month, the team will spotlight individuals in all facets of hockey - on the ice, working behind-the-scenes at pro sports organizations and in the stands - that positively impact the Kings and the sport as a whole.
The celebration culminates on February 28th with the LA Kings annual Black History Night celebration game, during which, the team will demonstrate its commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion through year-round We Are All Kings programming and tell stories of remarkable individuals that make up the LA Kings family.
