The Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks usually battle it out on the ice as they compete for playoff berths in the National Hockey League's Pacific Division and Western Conference standings. But on November 15, that competition went out the door completely, and for a good reason.

This is an expanded version of a story that will appear in the January 2016 edition of
USA Hockey Magazine, and even though I'm saying this myself, as the author, you won't want to miss this. It's informative and inspirational, and it's one of the best hockey-related events (including playoff games) that I've ever had the opportunity to cover.
