All 11 2026 Kings draft picks will be among the 40 attendees that this weeks LA Kings Development Camp, which is set to get underway on Monday, June 29 at Toyota Sports Performance Center.

The four-day event will get underway with 22 forwards, 14 defensemen and four goaltenders visiting Southern California for camp. Included in that group will be 2026 first-round pick Elton Hermansson, along with the other 10 players selected on Saturday, with second-round selections Liam Lefebvre and Adam Goljer. Goaltenders Carter George and Hampton Slukynsky lead a group of returners, with both players expected to begin their professional careers with the Kings organization in September. Defensemen Henry Brzustewicz and Jared Woolley will also be returners in attendance, alongside 2026 World Juniors MVP Vojtech Cihar. In total, 26 drafted players will attend the camp, which feels like close to the most we’ve seen in a long time, after draft classes of 9 and 11 players.

As a reminder, here is the schedule for the week –

Monday, June 29
9:30 AM – Forward Group
11:00 AM – Defense Group
3:30 PM – Scrimmage

Tuesday, June 30
9:30 AM – Defense Group
11:00 AM – Forward Group
3:15 PM – Scrimmage

Wednesday, July 1
9:30 AM – Forward Group
11:00 AM – Defense Group

Thursday, July 2
9:30 AM – Defense Group
11:00 AM – Forward Group
3:30 PM – Scrimmage

Will have coverage here throughout the week, although Wednesday could be substantially lighter, considering it is July 1 and in some form or another, the Kings will likely make some signings as unrestricted free agency opens. Considering the weakness of the free agent class, I’d expect those signings to be in the form of bottom-six forwards, defensemen to possibly compete to make the roster and push guys on the bottom pairing and players on two-way contracts, guys who may be slotted for the AHL.

In terms of the content of that content, so to speak, my goal is to focus on interviews and storylines as opposed to scrimmage or practice performances. As a wise man within the industry once told me, the only thing worse than looking good at development camp is looking bad at development camp. This is an introductory week for most players, a chance to get on the ice, get acclimated to Los Angeles and certain fundamentals the Kings stress. Scrimmage performances in June mean very little. I can remember a few of them over the years and I’ll tell you what, the ones I remember the most are from players with a combined zero NHL games. It’s not important. The true importance is for the players themselves and what they take out of this week and into their summer training. Nothing more than that. Hopeful to get the opportunity to chat with several prospects throughout the course of the week and go from there.

From the team’s official release –

The LA Kings have announced the full roster for the team’s Development Camp that will take place at Toyota Sports Performance Center in El Segundo, Calif. from Monday, June 29, through Thursday, July 2.
