With Hockey Weekend Across America taking place last weekend, we here at LAKings.com were inspired by the event and Nick Nickson’s piece in the upcoming edition of Royal Reign to tackle the very difficult task of creating a Kings All-American Team.
Why is this difficult you may ask?
Well say someone like a Jack Johnson or a Patrick O’Sullivan - both American-born players - betwixt the two of them, they have just under 175 games, 21 goals and 38 assists.
Nothing to write home about yet, the duo are still finding there way in the NHL…but five years from now, different story, they each appear to be a big part of the Kings future.
So do they go on the Kings All-American team? I say yes.
