Jake Muzzin on Thousand Oaks Shooting, Pushing for Positive Change

Following the tragic events in Thousand Oaks on Wednesday, the LA Kings came together with the collective message "ENOUGH" prior to their match-up against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday.
Both teams wore "ENOUGH" stickers on their helmets and held up placards during the moment of silence.
"If we can use our platform to maybe make a change, then I think we're trying to do our part," defenseman Jake Muzzin said.

Many of the players said they woke up to the heartbreaking news that 12 people were killed at the Borderline Bar & Grill in nearby Thousand Oaks.
"Waking up this morning to that, it makes you think about life a little bit differently," Muzzin said. "I know I look over and I see my wife and it makes you appreciate every day, just like that something terrible can happen."
The moments of remembrance have become an all-too-common theme throughout the NHL.
"It seems like it's happening too often," Muzzin said. "They said [it had been] 12 days [since the last shooting]. Like, are you kidding?"
Prior to the start of game, Kings President Luc Robitaille weighed in on the matter.
"I think at some point we all looked at each other and said: 'It's enough.' We've got to stop the violence. It's not enough for every sports organization to just do a moment of silence. We need to do more," Robitaille said.

The sentiment was shared by Muzzin.
"It's heartbreaking for the families and everyone affected. I know we've all been talking about making change," Muzzin said.
The Kings will once again donate all proceeds of their 50/50 Raffle during
Saturday's game against the Calgary Flames
to the Ventura County Family Foundation.
