LA Kings Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month 

On Friday, October 3, LA Kings Ice Crew and Bailey visited Evelyn Carr Elementary School in Torrance to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. With 61% of its student body identifying as Hispanic, the dual immersion school was a fitting place to honor Hispanic culture and community.

The day began with a Spanish-language reading of “B” is for Bailey in a Transitional Kindergarten class. Ice Crew then joined 3^rd, 4^th & 5^th grade Spanish dual immersion students for LA Kings Lotería, which puts a hockey-themed twist on the traditional game. Outside the classroom, students from all grades participated in ball hockey sessions led by the Hockey Development team.

On October 14, the LA Kings also hosted the third Spanish "B" is for Bailey reading in partnership with Para Los Niños. This tradition began in 2023 at their elementary school in Downtown Los Angeles. Since then, the LA Kings have continued to share the joy of storytelling & hockey with Spanish-speaking families across Southern California.

These visits is one of many ways the LA Kings connect with and uplift the Hispanic community. This season, we’re proud to host Salvadoran Heritage Night in October and Mexican Heritage Night in April, partnering with organizations that represent and support both cultures.

Now in its third year, Salvadoran Heritage Night has seen incredible support, with the ticket pack for this year’s event even first selling out and leading to more units being back on sale. We’re continuing our partnership with AFJA, which expands access to organized sports in Central America, and will host another ball hockey clinic in their honor.

Alongside the above, the LA Kings also host their annual Día de Muertos game in November, with a Community Ofrenda at Toyota Sports Performance Center leading into the game celebrations. Similarly, during the Día De Muertos game at Crypto.com Arena on November 1, an ofrenda will be prominently displayed for fans to view, inviting us to remember the departed.

The LA Kings remain committed to celebrating and connecting with the diverse communities that make up our region.
