The LA Kings Ice Crew is a high-energy, promotional and interactive team that is entering its 10 season of entertaining some
of the best fans in the NHL. The Kings Ice Crew is a physical extension of the LA Kings franchise. The group serves as fun, but
highly-professional brand ambassadors for the organization at games and at events throughout the community.
The Kings Ice Crew’s responsibilities are seemingly endless. Ever wonder who picks contestants for those trivia games you see
on the jumbotron at games? Who delivers prizes to a lucky row, or suits contestants up in those hilarious sumo wrestler suits
that run around on the ice during intermissions? Who are the guys & girls shoveling up the snow on the ice? The Kings Ice
Crew helps with all of those things, and much more! From entertaining fans and pumping up the crowd, to picking up kids for
their special ride on the Zamboni…the Kings Ice Crew helps create a memorable in-game experience for fans anytime they’re
our guests.
The Ice Crew’s role extends far beyond just home games. In fact, only about 25% of what the Ice Crew does is home games.
The other 75% of the job requires the Kings Ice Crew to make literally hundreds of appearances in the surrounding community
(400+ in 2014-2015), including events such as: charity functions, watch parties, grassroots marketing and promotional events,
autograph signings, tv/radio appearances, and much more. They are part street team, part cheer team (with NO cheers or
dances), part promo models/brand ambassadors, and part super fans!
The Ice Crew also does a lot of work throughout the year to help raise funds for the non-profit Kings Care Foundation, which is
dedicated to providing children in the greater Los Angeles area with health, educational and recreational opportunities. Last
season, the Ice Crew raised over $100,000 for Kings Care by selling raffle tickets to fans at games and events, selling the
annual swimsuit calendar, helping sell our Bailey’s Buddies kids club package, and much more. Aside from fundraising, the
Ice Crew is actively involved in health, educational and recreational program initiatives of the Kings, including: school reading
and physical education assemblies, library visits, after school programs, and even weekly blood drives in partnership with
Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. The Ice Crew is also heavily involved with the Kings Ice Rider program – a grassroots mobile
marketing initiative directed at marketing the LA Kings brand and building our marketing database with a goal of developing
Kings fans in non-traditional markets.
**If you are chosen as a finalist for the 2015-2016 LA Kings Crew, you will need to be available for a one-hour, business
th
st
interview at the LA Kings offices during regular business hours on a day between June 29 – July 1 .
How much availability does being a Kings Ice Crew member require?
Kings Ice Crew members will need to have a flexible schedule (particularly on evenings and weekends) that allows
for 95% availability for home games, team practices and rehearsals, as well as 75% availability for the various
outside appearances. Not all Kings Ice Crew members work every game or appearance. Scheduling is on a
rotating basis. Plan for 12-25 hours per week on average.
What is the pay rate for being a Kings Ice Crew member?
Kings Ice Crew members are paid $15 hourly for each game (for approximately 5 – 6 hours); an appearance rate of
$60 (up to 4 hours), and $15 hourly for additional work beyond the above.
What is the call time for games?
The Kings Ice Crew call time is approximately 2.5-3 hours prior to game time. For example: if the game begins at
7:30pm, the Kings Ice Crew must be at STAPLES Center, hair and makeup done, and ready to work at or before
4:45PM.
If I am chosen for the team, what happens next?
Those chosen for the 2015-2016 Kings Ice Crew will need to successfully complete a background check & drug test
per AEG company policy. Upon successful completion of both, Kings Ice Crew members will be required to attend a
mandatory AEG/LA Kings orientation, an appearance training, as well mandatory uniform and swimsuit calendar
photo shoots. No Exceptions.
