Hockey Fest schedule announced

The Kings released the schedule for Hockey Fest ’14, which will take place this Sunday at the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo.

While releasing the schedule, the Kings also noted that the Russian All-Star team that had been due to challenge Kings alumni in an exhibition / fundraiser Sunday night would not be able to take part “due to circumstances beyond the club’s control.” An LA City and County Fire Department team will face Kings alumni instead, and a portion of event proceeds will benefit the Widows, Orphans, and Disabled Firefighters Fund.

Hockey Fest is sold out, though fans can still attend by purchasing a ticket to the Alumni vs Firefighters game (tix here) or the Royal Feast Dinner (tix here), the latter of which will take place later that evening at Salt Creek Grille in El Segundo. Proceeds from all three events will benefit the Kings Care Foundation.

Kings alumni set to participate in the Alumni Game include Luc Robitaille, Nelson Emerson, Craig Johnson, Mike Donnelly, Jim Fox, Daryl Evans, Ron Duguay, Charlie Simmer, Rob Blake, Sean O’Donnell, Jaroslav Modry, Mike O’Connell and Jamie Storr. Rogie Vachon and Glen Murray will serve as honorary coaches. Here’s another reminder that events are always subject to change.
