Kings Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Call it "ping-pong diplomacy" for the 21st century. The Kings started this season with a new coaching staff and the third-youngest roster in the NHL, but some early season bonding has led to solid results.
At the start of training camp, new coach Terry Murray ordered that the television in the Kings' training-center locker room would remain off. He wanted his players to talk to each other, not sit around watching TV.
So, with Murray's permission, the players rolled a portable ping-pong table into the locker room. Post-practice time is now completely consumed with (relatively intense) doubles matches.
It's not just idle entertainment. The games have allowed the team to bond, which just might translate into on-ice success. |
