Kings, Staples Center will host 2017 All-Star Weekend
NASHVILLE -- The Los Angeles Kings will be the host team for the 2017 NHL All-Star Weekend, Commissioner Gary Bettman announced Saturday during a press conference at the Music City Center during his annual address at the All-Star Game.
The League's midseason showcase will take place Jan. 28 and Jan. 29 and will include the NHL All-Star Skills Competition and the NHL All-Star Game.
Commissioner Bettman said the game was awarded to Los Angeles in part because the Kings will be celebrating their 50th anniversary, but also, in part, because of the impact their home arena, Staples Center, has had on the transformation of downtown Los Angeles.
