Fathers’ trip underway in Chicago

As noted yesterday, the Kings are holding their “fathers’ trip” with the two-game set in Chicago and Winnipeg this week — I guess they like cold weather — and it got underway with Monday’s game in Los Angeles and Tuesday’s flight to Chicago. About half of the dads made that flight, and others will join the team along the way. In total, all of the fathers are expected to be on the trip except those of Andrei Loktionov, Slava Voynov and Simon Gagne (who didn’t make the trip either). Here’s the list of the proud dads — a group picture will be taken today and posted ASAP — followed by a KingsVision video of the start of the trip…

Alain Bernier, Bryan Brown, John Clifford, Paul Doughty, David Drewiske, John Fraser, Jim Greene, Stan Hunter, Jack Johnson Sr., Matjaz Kopitar, Randy Lewis, Frank Martinez, Reid Mitchell, Terry Penner, Doug Quick, Norman Richards, Jim Richardson, Bob Scuderi, Tim Stoll, Reg Westgarth, Craig Williams.
