The city of Los Angeles was interested in hosting a franchise in the NHL, as the state of California and had several hockey teams in various local leagues. When the National League decided to expand, the Canadian entrepreneur Jack Kent Cooke, owner of Los Angeles Lakers, paid two million dollars for having one of the six seats that were granted. Cooke decided to install its equipment in the city angelina, as the community of hockey fans had to add a significant number of citizens from northern states of the west coast in the United States and Canada. The new club was called the Los Angeles Kings, adopted the purple and gold as primary colors and would play in The Forum. More
