Yes RR, that is GREAT, it's amazing to see the happiness the Kings can bring to some, even when we are not having the best of seasons.

Great story. I'm glad the Kings pulled out the win for that little girl. I know how she feels...I love this team, too!

Thanks for that story RR. I love how she was very specific about the Kings.......not the Ducks.

That's awesome! I work with children like this every single day and it is truly a great feeling when I read or see something like this.

I used to work with a little girl several years back and we used to play hockey in the backyard with the big inflatable equipment. We would take turns being the goalie and shooter. Anytime she allowed a goal, she would say, "That was Duck Goalie-ing, I need to try harder."

That's great. When kids have autism sometimes you go with whatever seems to make a connection with them. I thought it was really nice that the Kings organization made them feel at home too...

What a great find! My eyes filled with tears while reading that story. Absolutely awesome!

I'm hoping she did get a puck and a stick and that her family doesn't make this a one time event. This girl needs season tickets if it brings her this much joy. And while a suite is great, maybe she'd like to sit at the glass one time?

I think I've got something in my eye..

Both of my boys are autistic, this was a great story.

They're still young, but I have my fingers crossed the Kings will be one of their obsessions one day. either that or drumming, I need a reliable drummer...
