LA Kings Announce Training Camp Roster & First Week Schedule

Announcing the 2024 training camp roster for the Los Angeles Kings!

The Kings will have a total of 68 players at camp – 40 forwards, 22 defensemen and six goaltenders. Of that group, 47 players are on NHL contracts, nine players who are on AHL contracts with the Ontario Reign and 12 players who are attending camp on an invitation, either an ATO or a PTO.

Per the team’s official release, the roster consists of 21 players who skated in at least one game for the Kings last season, highlighted by a trio of two-time Stanley Cup Champions with Anze Kopitar, Drew Doughty and Trevor Lewis. Kopitar set multiple career and organizational milestones last season, including setting the marks for the most games played (1,373) and assists (792) in franchise history as well as scoring his 400th career goal and 1,200th career point. Doughty (1,177) surpassed Dave Taylor (1,111) for third-most games played in team history, while becoming the first defenseman to record 500 assists with the Kings.

Also returning to camp are forwards Trevor Moore, who led the team with 31 goals as part of his first career 30-goal campaign, Adrian Kempe, who notched a career-high 75 points (28-47=75) to lead all Kings skaters and Quinton Byfield, who signed a five-year contract extension this summer after recording his first career 50-point season (20-35=55).

Of the 68 players set to take part in camp, 27 were drafted by the Kings, including forwards Akil Thomas and Alex Turcotte and defenseman Brandt Clarke, who each scored their first career NHL goal last season. Also attending camp are a trio of 2024 selections with forward Liam Greentree (26th overall), goaltender Carter George (57th overall) and defenseman Jared Woolley (164th overall).

The Kings’ camp roster features several of the team’s offseason additions, highlighted by forwards Warren Foegele and Tanner Jeannot, defenseman Joel Edmundson and goaltender Darcy Kuemper, who returns to the Kings after appearing in 19 games for the club during the 2017-18 campaign, where he posted a 10-1-3 record with three shutouts, a 2.10 goals against average (GAA) and .932 save percentage (SV%).

Also included on the camp roster is forward Arthur Kaliyev, who signed a one-year contract with the Kings earlier today.
