A championship parade and rally celebrating the Los Angeles Kings’ second Stanley Cup championship in three seasons will be held Monday, the team announced shortly after its 3-2 double-overtime cup-clinching victory over the New York Rangers on June 13.
The parade will begin at noon at Fifth and Figueroa streets, with players, their families, coaches, team staff, broadcaster, team mascot Bailey and the Ice Crew riding aboard double-decker buses and other specially decorated vehicles with the Stanley Cup, Conn Smythe Trophy and Clarence Campbell Cup.
Fans planning to attend the parade are encouraged to line the one-mile parade route on Figueroa Street from Fifth Street to Chick Hearn Court. The Los Angeles Police Dept. (LAPD) and Dept. of Transportation will control all the immediate areas adjacent to Staples Center and L.A. Live, with limited access to an area of limited size.
The parade is expected to last 30 to 45 minutes.
The rally will begin at 1 p.m. in Staples Center, with ticket holders able to enter at 11:30 a.m. to watch the parade on the arena’s video screens.
Fans with tickets for the sold-out rally may show their ticket to enter special viewing areas along Chick Hearn Court on both the L.A. Live and Staples Center sides of the street.
The rally will include video highlights from the season, introductions of the team, coaching staff and executives and speeches by many of the players.
Prime Ticket will show the parade and rally live.
The Kings won its second Stanley Cup in three years; in 2012, the Kings defeated the New Jersey Devils for the franchise’s first ever NHL championship.
