Expansion team, the Seattle Kraken, made their first visit to play the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena on Saturday, but something else unfolded that was the highlight of the night. Kings 21-year-old rookie defenseman, Jordan Spence, scored his first NHL goal to help his team beat the Kraken 4-2. He scored late in the second period of his ninth NHL game (debut was March 10, 2022). It was a shot from the right side at the blue line, a gorgeous, hard wrist shot that made its way through a...

International sensation,...
Los Angeles Kings forward Brendan Lemieux is a chip off the old block. His dad, Claude, a four-time Stanley Cup champion, was a skillful offensive threat and also a notorious pest and agitator. But there was a time when Claude wanted to steer his son, the aggressive 25 year old winger for the Kings, away from pursuing playing hockey. "I just thought it would be really hard for the son of a dad that played to follow in your father's footsteps," Claude, now 56, said. "Number one, I think it could...
Four great concerts are coming to the Canyon Club venues. They are the most famous band to come out of Cochtolan, CA. A trio of brothers who polished their chops playing six sets a night at the local Tufted Nighthatch Tavern and Bird Sanctuary.

The likes of Jackson Browne (who will be joining them on stage on March 4 in Agoura), Lucinda Williams and Richard Thompson don't usually join...

Los Angeles Kings veteran defenseman Drew Doughty was recognized for playing in his 1,000th regular-season game in a pregame ceremony versus the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. The Kings fell to the Oilers 5-2, but the highlight of the night at Crypto.com Arena was Doughty’s great accomplishment.

The LA Kings hockey team, 19-13-5 (third place in the Pacific Division), is surging right now, seemingly rising like a Phoenix from the ashes, as they are riding on a three-game win-streak with two of those wins against elite teams - the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins - at their newly-named home, Crypto.com Arena. But the other good news is that Canadian center Quinton Byfield, 19 and of Jamaican descent, the Kings second overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, is now back on the ice and...
There are three great concerts coming to the Canyon Clubs. On January 21, The Fab Four, will take the stage at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills. If you close your eyes and listen to The Fab Four sing a Beatles song, you will think that the boys from Liverpool had transported themselves back from the '60's. That's how accurate and authentic their sound is – arguably the world's best Beatles tribute band. When you open your eyes, you will see four lads on stage that closely resemble the B...

LA Kings veteran defenseman Drew Doughty is back on the active roster, ahead of schedule, after having spent about six weeks on the shelf with an injury to his knee. Doughty suffered the injury, the first most-concerning one in his 14-season career, during a knee-to-knee collision with Dallas Stars defenseman Jani Hakanpaa on October 22. It was appropriate that his first game back in the lineup was against their arch-rival the Anaheim Ducks in The Freeway-Faceoff on November 30. The Kings lost...
The LA Kings hockey team has been experiencing somewhat of a surge in their performance and in the standings, climbing out of the cellar in the Pacific Division to start the season, to now occupying fifth place in the division with a record of 8-7-3. One of the key variables to their success has been 25-year-old Swedish left-winger Adrian Kempe. As it stands right now, after 18 games, he's netted seven goals, and assisted on four, for a total of 11 points. That gives him the third spot on the Ki...

His leadership and energy is contagious as he continues to make every player on the team better and inspiring them to take their performance to the next level.

Every time he takes t...
The legendary, dynamic duo of Hall & Oates took the stage at the sold out Hollywood Bowl much to the delight of their long-time adoring fans. Before they took the stage, a montage video played going down memory lane from their history together since the '70's. And then they delivered all of their greatest hits. Even after all these years playing together, one could tell that they still thoroughly enjoy their partnership. It really is amazing how the duo have endured and have to arguably be one...
Before the LA Kings hockey season started, I heard people saying that two-time, Stanley Cup champion veterans, Anze Kopitar (Captain) and Dustin Brown were too old and too slow to keep up with elite and young players on opposing teams. But they both proved them wrong by coming out of the gate with great energy at the home opener at STAPLES Center and scoring goals. Kopitar scoring three times, giving him a beloved hat trick. Lets not forget the credits and experience these two bring to the...

Is it good or bad that Dodgers fans have extremely high expectations of how their team and players perform on the field? Seemingly demanding perfection every game. On the one hand, they invest their time and money into the team and have every right to desire that it pays them dividends in the form of team wins and successful individual player performance. On the other side of the coin, one has to ask themselves, 'where do I draw the line between expectations of the team winning every game and ea...
The Cardinals came to Los Angeles to take on the Dodgers in a three-game series, always a much-anticipated rivalry felt by both the teams and their fans. A rivalry that has developed over the years into a playoff-type atmosphere. The Dodgers took two out of the three games, but another bright spot was the reunion of two veterans and former teammates, Cardinals catcher Yadi Molina and newly-acquired Dodger first-baseman Albert Pujols. Their first reunion since Pujols donned a Dodger uniform....
