The Canadian franchises and Canada as a market for NHL hockey has always been a priority for us.

There are lots of come-from-behind wins, games getting tied in the last period, teams going on to win. That, I think, tells the best story. Whether or not some teams have more grit, better chemistry, or more luck or more skill, it's still within the parameters. I think that makes for great storytelling and great interest for our fans.

There's no question that the Kings have been, are, and can be great hosts for any major events.
