Who's the Real King of Los Angeles?
Let's talk about hockey, baby! Or should I say, let's talk about who owns hockey in Los Angeles. Because, let's face it, owning a hockey team in LA is like owning a surfboard in Hawaii - it's cool, but it's also a serious flex.
Who Owns The Los Angeles Kings Hockey Team |
The Crown Jewels of LA Hockey
So, who's the lucky duck who gets to call themselves the king of the Los Angeles Kings? Drumroll, please... It's a duo of power players: Philip Anschutz and Ed Roski. These guys are like the Batman and Robin of hockey ownership, except without the capes and the crime-fighting.
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
Anschutz, the real-life Bruce Wayne of the bunch, is a billionaire businessman with a penchant for owning sports teams and arenas. He's the guy who brought the Kings out of the hockey wilderness and into the spotlight. Roski, on the other hand, is more like the Alfred to Anschutz’s Batman - always there to provide support and wisdom. Together, they form a dynamic duo that has turned the Kings into a force to be reckoned with.
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
A Crown Fit for a King
Owning the Kings is like winning the lottery, but with pucks and penalty boxes instead of numbers. These guys get to rub elbows with hockey legends, attend fancy galas, and probably get some pretty sweet perks like free tickets to games. It's basically like being a real-life king, but with less drama and more hockey fights.
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
Fun fact: Did you know that before Anschutz and Roski took the reins, the Kings went through a bit of a rough patch? Like, really rough. There was even a bankruptcy! Talk about a hockey horror story. But fear not, our dynamic duo came to the rescue and turned the team around.
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
How to Become a Hockey Royalty (Probably Not)
Okay, so you're probably not going to become the owner of the Los Angeles Kings anytime soon. But hey, a girl can dream, right? Here are a few tips to get you started on your hockey empire:
- How to start a hockey team: Well, first you need a billion dollars or so. Then you need to find a city that’s willing to build you an arena. After that, you need to draft some players who can actually skate. Good luck!
- How to become a hockey fan: This one's easy! Just find a team you like, learn the rules (sort of), and start cheering.
- How to survive a hockey game: Dress warmly, bring snacks, and be prepared to shout a lot.
- How to impress a hockey player: Know your hockey stats, be able to skate backwards, and offer to buy them a beer.
- How to bet on hockey: This one's risky, so proceed with caution. Do your research, and remember, gambling should be fun, not a way to make a living.
So there you have it, folks. The Kings are in good hands, and the rest of us can just enjoy the ride. Go Kings!
