LA Kings and Mascot Bailey Visit Kennedy and McKinley
The LA Kings, the LA Kings mascot Bailey, and LA Kings TV analyst Daryl Evans recently visited Kennedy and McKinley Elementary Schools for some fun with scholars both inside and outside the classroom.

Evans, a former LA Kings hockey player and now TV announcer, read the alphabet book “B is for Bailey” to classes at both Kennedy and McKinley, teaching the scholars about hockey through the alphabet, while Bailey helped demonstrated the book. The students learned about the game of hockey, different terms used in the game, as well as the equipment hockey players use.

After the readings, Bailey joined scholars outside for some ball hockey. Scholars got a chance to hit the rink and try to score on Bailey, battling each other in fun games.

The LA Kings, through their Kings Care Foundation, have been setting up ball hockey rinks at various Compton Unified Schools this summer, teaching scholars how to play ball hockey, the blacktop version of ice hockey.

Thanks to their support, the hockey games have provided lots of fun in the sun for CUSD scholars throughout summer school. Thank you, LA Kings.
