Kings ‘Most Likely’ Opening Next Season in Europe

March 7, 2011 By John Hoven

There is still plenty of hockey left to be played this season. However, for those looking ahead to the fall, here are two quick scheduling notes:

* As first reported by RinkRat on LetsGoKings.com, the Kings annual pre-season game in Las Vegas vs. the Colorado Avalanche has been set. Frozen Fury XIV will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on October 1st.

[note: for some fun, take the Frozen Fury Trivia challenge]

* On a separate note, as reported a few weeks ago, stories in Europe have been circulating claiming the Kings will open the 2011-12 season in Germany – playing a two-game series with the Buffalo Sabres. A source confirmed to me this morning that the Europe opener is ‘most likely’ happening. Expect an announcement in the next week or so.

Some will like this, some won’t.  If nothing else though, playing two games in Germany (expected to be in Berlin and Hamburg) will offset part of the recently announced ticket price increases for next season.
