Kings Announce New Off-Ice Conduct Awareness Training Initiatives

The Los Angeles Kings today announced a series of new off-ice Conduct Awareness Training Initiatives that will take effect prior to the start of the 2015-16 season and will reflect the values and principles of the franchise.

“During the past year, we have been extremely diligent in developing an educational strategy and comprehensive programs in an effort to ensure that the troubling incidents that occurred last season are not repeated,” said Dan Beckerman, chief executive of AEG. “We have conducted research, gathered information and forged partnerships that will better prepare our players and staff for challenges that could impact their behavior away from the workplace.’’

Highlighting today’s announcement is the Kings’ new partnership with Peace Over Violence, a violence prevention center headquartered in Los Angeles. As part of this new partnership, the Kings and Peace Over Violence (POV) will create a promotional campaign entitled “Kings Over Violence” in an effort to create a platform to significantly increase awareness against violence. Within this campaign, the Kings will seek to support the goals of POV, which is dedicated to building healthy relationships, families and communities free from sexual, domestic and interpersonal violence.

In addition to the POV / Kings Over Violence program, the club is adding:

- The Herren Project, aimed at better educating players about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.
- Sexual harassment training.
- A conduct awareness program created by the Kings’ owner, AEG Sports properties.
- A new Player Assistance position, which will focus on the challenges of addiction and substance abuse, has been created. The Kings have hired former NHL player Brantt Myhres for this position.

Kings President / General Manager Dean Lombardi said: “These programs are now part of the development process for all of our players. No longer can we solely focus on their growth and education as just hockey players; we need to give them the tools to thrive as people, too. These programs will extend to their family lives and empower them with strategies to best manage their positive development off the ice.”

Kings President, Business Operations Luc Robitaille said: “As an organization, we have very high standards and we do not tolerate behavior that does not represent the core values that define us. We are taking a stand but also embracing the opportunity to enhance our understanding of these important issues and to work together to raise awareness both in our industry and in our community.”

Babcock is pairing Gardiner and Rielly together. The media's putting this out as a big deal, but haven't they already been paired a few times already throughout last season?

I'm not really shocked or surprised.

Subban is awesome off-ice, arguably still immature and classless on-ice.

Richards is...man, the fuck happened to that guy.

Coke?

What on earth is wrong with you? More resources to help people in any profession cope with problems in ways that don't involve violence is a good thing. Good lord.

Lineup change for the Rangers tonight. Dan Boyle is out, Kevin Klein is in. Boyle's not injured, apparently they just want to see Skjei paired with Klein instead.

I don't think hes pissed they're implementing these programs, he's angry his team has exhibited such awful behaviour that such measures are necessary.
Relax

So I was about to order a cap from Lids but then noticed dat 4.99 ground shipping which almost negates the item's discount.

Sigh... I guess I'll have to order more than one.

He finds it ridiculous that grown-ass adults apparently need to sit down in class and study in order to learn the fact that you shouldn't beat your wife's face in if she upsets you. I agree with The Clivefrog.

love too watch the Jonathon Gabsor. Love hockey. Love too see Gerbsuan make the big saves and score a touchdown. Howzat!

Good thing we signed him, because we're fucked next season.

@gregbeacham: Ducks RFAs next summer include Andersen, Lindholm, Vatanen, Rakell, Despres, Sekac. Bob Murray implies that some are playing hardball.

I mean I know we're joking and all but did you really just use the "but I have black friends!" card?

In LA it makes a lot of sense. Most of them are raised on shitty aggressive and selfish egotistical culture.

It's almost weird that of any place to implement Sharia law in the Western world, where it would actually make a rare positive difference, LA makes the most sense.

Even Stone Age archaic barbaric sexist laws are more peaceful than LAs shitty toxic culture.

Don't forget not to rape people. I roll my eyes at work too. It's common sense stuff. I will not sexually harass people in the office. I wait until after hours.
