He returned to the booth this past Friday and Saturday when the Kings played in the Frozen Fury exhibition series in Las Vegas.

Thorne has enjoyed a 50-year broadcasting career, covering a multitude of major events and the National Hockey League (for 12 years) including the Stanley Cup Playoffs/Finals for ABC/ESPN and many NHL All-Star Games. He has also called hockey games for SportsChannel America, the New Jersey Devils and at the University of Maine dating back to 1977. He currently calls baseball games for the Baltimore Orioles. Thorne and Miller were also each in attendance and called Wayne Gretzky's record-breaking 802nd goal:

McDonald is the "Original Voice of the LA Kings," working in Los Angeles from 1967-72 during the club's very first five seasons. He called the club's first preseason game, first regular season game and first playoff game. He has also worked as a club broadcaster for the Atlanta Flames, Florida Panthers and the New York Islanders, totaling more than 3,000 contests. In 1990 he was the recipient of the Foster Hewitt Award, which is recognized by a plaque in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto and he will return to Los Angeles for Opening Night as the 1967-68 Kings are reunited.
