Weekend Autograph Opportunities: Manny Mota and the LA Kings HockeyFest

Here are this weekends autograph opportunities and events throughout the Southland. As always, be sure to check the Blue Heaven Calendar for other events (a link can always be found on the tab at the top of this page, just left of center), and always confirm with the establishment. Everything is subject to change.  Please email me with any tips about upcoming events in Southern California.  As the rest of the week progresses I'll update this post with other events (if there are any) as I become aware of them.  Also, I don't always list every event below, so be sure to check my Calendar.  I always try to favor free signing events over paying events.  Click on any pic to embiggen.

This coming Sunday is the LA Kings HockeyFest at the Staples Center.  Go here for information.  It runs from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

The event will once again serve as the official start to the 2013-14 NHL season and it will feature Kings’ players, coaches, management and alumni interacting with fans through both special Q&A’s and autograph sessions.  Other scheduled highlights will include Kings President General Manager Dean Lombardi and staff addressing the crowd, a kids’ press conference with players (a fan favorite), an open skate at STAPLES Center and the unveiling of the 2013-14 Kings Ice Crew calendar.

“Hockey Fest is back and we as an organization can’t wait to celebrate our team and this great game with our loyal and passionate fans,” said Kings President, Business Operations Luc Robitaille.  “We’re excited about our team and the new season and can’t wait to get started.  This will once again be a must see event for anyone who loves the Kings and the sport of hockey.”

Pricing for LA Kings Hockey Fest ’13 is $20 for Kings Season Ticket Members and Partial Plan Holders, and $25 for the general public. A schedule of events will be released at a later date.
