The Los Angeles Kings will be hosting a celebrity and NHL alumni game at Crypto.com Arena on Feb. 23 to raise funds for the L.A. Fire Relief Fund. The event, called “Skate for L.A. Strong,” will feature current and former players, along with first responders and celebrities. Tickets will not be sold for the event, instead being distributed to firefighters, first responders, and those who have been displaced or lost homes. Kings president Luc Robitaille emphasized the importance of bringing as many people into the arena as possible to show appreciation for the first responders and families affected by the wildfires. The Kings recently unveiled a new center ice logo to honor firefighters and have been showing support for them at their games. The team is working to show unity and strength in the community by hosting this event. The announcement of the game came on Wednesday night during a broadcast on TNT, with actor and hockey fan Will Arnett speaking about the importance of supporting those who have been affected by the wildfires. The Kings are collaborating with the NHL to make this event a success and to raise awareness and funds for those in need.
