The Royal Rant

Legendary hockey writer, podcaster, and broadcaster Scott Burnside @OvertimeScott joins The Royal Rant to discuss your LA Kings as well as other happenings around the NHL. Scott was the 2024 recipient of the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award for excellence in hockey journalism, whose work has been described as "appointment reading" by PHWA president Frank Seravalli.

We look forward to seeing Scott covering select Kings games this season and hopefully through a LONG playoff run next spring.
