This Date in LA Kings History: June 11th

June 11, 2021 By Harry Ouzounian

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 June 11, 1968, the @LAKings acquired Gerry Desjardins from Montreal for first round picks in 1969 (traded to Minnesota, selected Dick Redmond) and 1972 (Steve Shutt). Desjardins posted a 26-58-14 record and a .893 save percentage in two seasons with the #LAKings.#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/MZmqXlX2o8

On June 11, 1980, the @LAKings selected Larry Murphy (4th), Jim Fox (10th), Greg Terrion (33rd), Steve Bozek (52nd), Bernie Nicholls (73rd), and Daryl Evans (178th) at the NHL Entry Draft. All six players were part of the "Miracle on Manchester" #LAKings team in 1982.#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/oVlw8rmvys

After 44 seasons, the @LAKings were crowned Stanley Cup champions when they defeated the Devils 6-1 in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. Jonathan Quick won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, and Dustin Brown became the first #LAKings player to lift the #StanleyCup.#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/Exx2RDMEfs
