Four Selected from Open Tryout to become LA Kings Emergency Goalie

Thanks to a rule implemented by the NHL,
the LA Kings were in need of an Emergency Backup Goalie
who would be available for every home game at STAPLES Center.

While it was all fun and games, the Kings actually had to choose who would become the next emergency backup goalie.
Did anyone have what it takes to make it to the top?

Yes. A few, in fact.
Congratulations to Alec Rounds (pictured above), Billy Blase, Eric Chiccone, and Derek Classen for each being named as the LA Kings Next Top Emergency Goalie.
The four will split the duties of the Kings emergency goaltender for the rest of the 2017-18 season ... despite what
