LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Kings will hold open goaltending tryouts on September 27 at the Toyota Sports Center as the club seeks qualified amateur goaltending candidates to provide emergency goaltending duties at all of its 2017-18 home games at STAPLES Center. Qualified candidates will have played a high level of amateur hockey, but must not have signed a contract to play in a professional league.

“The NHL requires each home team to have an emergency goalie in the stands for every game and we thought this would be a good opportunity to see who in our area is best qualified for the job,” said Kings President Luc Robitaille. “It will be interesting, that is for sure.”

The event, which is open to the media, takes place on Wednesday, September 27, from 1:15 – 3:45 p.m. in El Segundo. A member of Kings hockey operations department will be at the event to evaluate the candidates.
