LA Kings Celebrate Pride Month

Throughout Pride month and the rest of the year, the LA Kings are honored to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and their valuable contributions to the sport of hockey. We are dedicated to endorsing programs that promote diversity and increase access to ice sports in the greater Los Angeles area.

This Sunday June 11, the LA Kings and LA Galaxy are teaming up with AEG for the annual LA Pride Parade! For more information,click here.

The LA Kings host an annual Pride Night where players, staff, fans, and partners come together to show support for the LGBTQIA+ community. To take a look at last years celebration, click here. Stay tuned for the 23-24 Theme Nights and Promotions schedule which will be annouced later this summer!
