From their humble beginning as one of the NHL’s Second Six expansion teams in 1967, through winning two Stanley Cups in three years and becoming a league powerhouse in 2012-14, the LA Kings have experienced a rich hockey history over the past 50-plus years. Below are some key franchise moments that occurred on this date.
On February 9, 1966, the NHL announced that Los Angeles will be one of the six new expansion teams that will be joining the league in 1967-68. Months later, team owner Jack Kent Cooke announced that the team will be called the @LAKings.#LAKings #GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/ZqOnaStWXk
