Building a legacy that's fit for Kings
The Los Angeles Kings have strengthened their presence in China by launching a youth development program in Beijing.
Supported by Beijing-based ORG Packaging, the Kings, who swept the Vancouver Canucks in last season's inaugural NHL China Games, will run a regular Beijing Jr. Kings youth training program for children aged 8-10 at Beijing's AZ Ice Sports Club, coached by former Kings forward Todd Elik.
The Beijing initiative marks the first youth hockey development program jointly created, owned and operated by the Kings outside of Los Angeles.
