Hockey Sites We Love

26 May, 2009 | by Keith

The long off-season continues for Los Angeles Kings fans as we watch playoff hockey that doesn’t include…well…us. So as we peruse the internet we thought we’d share with you some of our favorite sites we like to take a look at.

Sites for Kings Fans

The Online Kingdom – The Online Kingdom has been around for a long time. The site started as an email list and became the site that it is through the hard work of many. Check out the Roundtable for intense debate year-round.

Inside the Kings – Started by Daily News reporter Rich Hammond, Inside the Kings is the source for up to the minute news and interviews on the LA Kings. No one has better access to the organization than Rich.

Frozen Royalty – Recently inducted into the Professional Hockey Writers Association, Gann Matsuda started this blog to expand his coverage of the LA Kings. Gann has been blogging for HockeyTalk.biz on a regular basis. It’s a great blog to read, particularly after home games. Gann has been posting post-game audio interviews with players and coaches after each game.

A Queen Among Kings – Connie Kim’s blog about the LA Kings is peppered with hilarious commentary about her favorite team. Connie likes to fixate her attention on one obscure player each season to gush about and frequently brings interesting signs to games. Connie is also a co-host with KingsCast (check her out on Overtime here).

Sites for Hockey Fans

Hockey’s Future – We’d be remiss not to mention Hockey’s Future as they are our first source for information on Kings prospects. If you’re looking for information on your favorite prospect, this is the source.

The Hockey Card Show – This show is about a fan’s love for hockey cards. But that’s not what makes this show so hilarious. The two hosts do a great job mixing booze, hockey and hilarity.

Hockey T Shirt.net – Another great find. This show takes a look at some of the cool hockey-related t-shirts out there. Again, the two hosts here are funny as hell Pittsburgh Penguins fans who loathe Alex Ovechkin. Check them out wearing a KingsCast shirt here.

The Hockey Zen – The Hockey Zen is a new hockey social networking site on the scene. While still new and building its member base, this is going to be a great site for the hockey fan. It’s not yet well represented by Kings fans, so point your browsers over and sign up. They also have a video blog called Hockey Zen TV that’s worth checking out.

Spector’s Hockey – Spector’s Hockey is the only place to go for the latest hockey rumors. Written by Lyle Richardson, he takes the rumors from all of the sources on-line and print and gives his color commentary on them. This is the one and only hockey rumor source I check daily.

Kukla’s Korner – Kukla’s Korner is a great blog network that gives you perspective on all teams league-wide. If you haven’t heard of Kukla’s Korner, you likely just joined the internet.

Got a site we missed? Add it to the comments section or tell us on Twitter. Yes, it’s highly possible we haven’t come across your hockey blog yet but we’d like to!

  • Much love guys, thanks for the props!

    Glad you enjoy the show, it's a blast to do and would love if we had the quality and editing prowess that you guys have. Keep em coming!

    Did I really just say "much love"...

    Cheers
  • Hey, we're big fans of you guys. Keep doing what you're doing but always keep the liquor flowing! :-) PS, tell Dink he needs to lighten up on LA!
  • Thanks for the shout out guys. Looking forward to seeing more Kings Fans at The Hockey Zen and HockeyTweets.net.

    Can't wait for more episodes as well. Keep them coming and Go Kings Go!
  • We're working on getting more Kings fans there for sure! Keep up the great work on both!

    my bad..went straight for the comment section when i wrote my response. what i was inquiring about in regards to my archive response dealt with the comment section. once the page is filled up with written comments, you are unable to view the comments that were written prior to yours if the page limit is exceeded.
  • Joe, not sure what you mean about the archive section. You're commenting on "Hockey Sites We Love". I don't see where you wouldn't know what's being said.
  • I especially love the intensely titled "Frozen Royalty." It takes chunks of information and opinion and creates ice sculptures. That Gann...
  • LOL!

    what happened to the archive function for the comment section? I would like to to know what this discussion is about
  • Ashley, I'm a huge fan of Inside the Kings but it's really the only act in town. The problem with media access to the LA Kings is that he's one of the only guys who gets paid to cover the team. Helene Elliott is fantastic, of course, but she doesn't provide the access that Hammond does (not her fault, mind you). I'd like to see LA start to give bloggers more access to the team the way they do in Edmonton or Washington.
  • Ummm...if I actually did this full-time, I would be doing more with Lombardi, etc...
  • My point exactly. There aren't a lot of paid gigs around town to make that possible. I think you do a great job with the time available to you but I think there's room for a couple of people to do what Rich does (you are one of them).

    My point in regards to bloggers in LA is that the team hasn't embraced them the way other cities have. Not that the Kings do a poor job either. People like you are in the press box. Hell, the Kings have been very generous to this site. They are definitely making headway. There's still room for increased access which would only help the team. Look at the owner of the Capitals, he makes access very easy and even blogs himself.
  • The problem with many bloggers is that they have no accountability—they ignore the standards of journalism. Many write whatever they want, whether it's true or not, whether it's appropriate or not. "Discretion" is an unknown word to many of them. Some of the bloggers you mention even sit in the press box wearing team attire (such as jerseys). I don't think that's appropriate.

    That's the problem college and pro sports leagues and teams face when offering media access to bloggers and even some non-blog web writers. I would love to see more access to bloggers, but only if they adhere to journalistic standards.
  • Agreed. There needs to be standards set forth by the organization that they agree to. There's no room for jerseys and booze in the press box. They also need to be appropriate in their coverage of the team.
  • Rich Hammond = God
  • Awwww...shucks. :-)
