Hockey at the MGM Grand Las Vegas
Frozen Fury - L.A. Kings vs. Colorado Avalanche

By Zeke Quezada, About.com

Once again Hockey is invading the MGM Grand Garden Arena on September 26. The Los Angeles Kings take on the Colorado Avalanche for Frozen Fury XII. I should make it clear that as a hockey fan I am positive you'll have fun at this event. You might say, "preseason, who watches those games?" Frozen Fury at the MGM Grand is where it all starts for fans of the Avalanche and the Kings.

The Teams at Frozen Fury
The Los Angeles Kings and the Colorado Avalanche. Both teams have been reworking their lineups so you'll be sure to notice some fresh faces with new sweaters but the action is still the same. These games feel like playoff matches and you can be sure that you will feel the building shaking with each thunderous check into the boards.

The Fans at Frozen Fury
You can also read about where the fans go before the big game to get ready to cheer their team on. This is the important location. Check out Inside the Kings with Rich Hammond for the latest information on the Kings. You can also look to Avalanche ZOne to find out about where the Avalanche fans will be.

A small note, do not expect too much from the Avalanche fans as they have a tendency to hover around the buffets, stand in front of the Bellagio waiting for the next fountain show or just watch the talking statues at Caesars. They root for the Avalanche, what can you expect?

As for the Kings fans you can probably expect to redefine your idea of tailgating. The party will probably begin early in the afternoon and make its way straight through the hockey game and then deep into the night.

Hockey in Las Vegas
If you’re looking for more hockey in Las Vegas the ECHL has a hockey team in the Las Vegas Wranglers . They begin their season on October 8.

There is nothing like a big frozen sheet of ice in the middle of the desert.

For those of you Colorado fans that have taken exception to my categorization of your ability to have a good time at Frozen Fury, please except my sincere apologies as I am and always will be a King fan!
