Los Angeles Kings NHL Information 

Ice hockey was fast becoming a popular spectator sport in Southern California by the early 1960's; however, it was mostly considered small-time hockey, and dominated by the Pacific Coast Hockey League, a league that had yet to challenge for the Stanley Cup. However, as hockey tickets grew to be more and more of a hot commodity in the are, and the league continued to grow, they began thinking about challenging for the Stanley Cup. Recognizing this potential competition, the NHL agreed to open a new franchise in Los Angeles when the league made its first major expansion in 1967. So along with Minnesota North Stars tickets, Oakland Seals tickets, Philadelphia Flyers tickets, Pittsburg Penguins tickets, and St. Louis Blues tickets, the NHL began offering Los Angeles Kings tickets.

Since their inception in 1967, the Los Angeles Kings have had on-and-off success throughout the years. Although the Kings have never won a Stanley Cup, they've pushed their way through the regular seasons and playoffs with enough success to develop a hearty and supportive fan base. But the true turning point for the Los Angeles Kings, and what made LA Kings tickets such a popular draw, was the blockbuster trade that brought "The Great One" himself to Los Angeles, Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky not only led the team to the playoffs on a number of occasions, he also brought fans out in droves. They all wanted to see the greatest hockey player of all-time in action in Los Angeles. Gretzky never disappointed on the ice, although overall the Kings did by never bringing Stanley Cup Championship tickets to the Los Angeles Area. But Stanley Cup Playoffs tickets were a hot commodity, and every year, the faithful in the City of Angels hoped for more. In fact, the popularity of Los Angeles Kings tickets thanks to the coming of Gretzky helped popularize ice hockey in the southwestern United States. Soon, Arizona would have the Phoenix Coyotes, San Jose would have the Sharks, and just 35 miles to the South of the Kings, Anaheim would have their Might Ducks. Of course, with all of this expansion came great rivalries, and now Los Angeles Kings tickets that include Mighty Ducks tickets, Coyotes tickets, and Sharks tickets are some of the most popular sports tickets in Southern California.
