That means there's only one former champion competing in this year's Tournament and the field is wide open in 2020. So which of the Sweet 16 will move on to the Elite 8?

Gustl, our dear friend and inaugural Bark Madness Champion in 2015 , has hung up his collar and leash. The dog that kicked-off the phenomenon that is Bark Madness will not compete in the Tournament. Instead, Gustl will be joining us as official Chairdog of Bark Madness!

We searched every social post, enlisted the help of @GustlTweets , and even had the players and hockey ops weigh-in to bring you the 16 best good boys and good girls to compete in the 2020 edition of Bark Madness.

That's right, Bark Madness is back and better than ever!

There may be a pause in the NHL season, but that doesn't mean that the LA Kings are done competing.

Welcome back my friends to the show that I am contractually required to keep going never ends!



No. 1 Meatball Luff

vs.

No. 16 Turks Petersen

The dog. The myth. The legend.

Matt Luff and Meatball arrived on the scene in extraordinary fashion last year as he took home the 2019 Bark Madness crown.

He's been training all year for this. Can he become the first dog to take home back-to-back titles, or will his championship hopes be derailed a beautiful golden retriever who won't let any tennis ball or puck past him and his labrador retriever, Turks.



No. 8 Lucy Brown

vs.

No. 9 Kenni Roy

Dustin Brown has another dog?! Dustin Brown has another dog!

Lucy Brown makes her first-ever appearance in Bark Madness. Milo has been training her for this moment for months.

But don't sleep on Matt Roy and his good boy, Kenni, who has been studying the past five years of Tournament and even earned a degree in Bark Madness History at Michigan Tech.



No. 4 Drake Robitaille

vs.

No. 13 Murphy Moore

Trevor Moore grew up watching and cheering for Luc Robitaille and the Kings. And never did he imagine that he would actually have to face-off against the Kings legend.

Drake Robitaille joins Bark Madness, but he's no stranger to the Tournament. The 14-year-old gentle giant immediately becomes best friends with whoever enters the Robitaille home, and he's ready to take on Murphy Moore.

Murphy may be new to Kings fans, but this golden doodle has already made a name for himself on Instagram.



No. 5 Bo Carter

vs.

No. 12 Axel MacDermid

Jeff Carter and Bo are back! The lovable special needs dog with "bowed" legs returns to Bark Madness and is here to raise awareness of adoptable special needs dogs in shelters.

Best of all, that means we get to watch the best Instagram video of all time another 28,734 times.

Kurtis MacDermid and Axel are here to wear matching pajamas and win Bark Madness... and they're already wearing matching pajamas!



No. 2 Cope Wagner

vs.

No. 15 Ace Clague

Austin Wagner and Cope went on an amazing run in 2019 to make it to the Bark Madness Final.

The Wagners were quite proud of their run, but they have their sights set on taking home the whole thing this year.

Kale Clague made his debut for the Kings, so it only makes sense that Ace does the same in 2020. Can the upstart rookie grab the ball and come up with a big opening round upset?



No. 7 Ace Bailey

vs.

No. 10 Rowdy Iafallo

The original Ace returns in a big showdown against Alex Iafallo and Rowdy (bottom), who refuses to take a photo without his brother, Rex (top).

Ace has bulked up for the competition, and he and Bailey and ready to go on a big run, even if it means going through every dog the Iafallo family can throw at him.



No. 3 Reggie Doughty

vs.

No. 14 Lucy Anderson

Drew Doughty has won just about everything.

Two Stanley Cup Championships. Two Olympic Gold Medals. One Norris Trophy.

The only thing missing in his trophy case is a Bark Madness Title from Reggie. The regal beagle was the runner-up in 2015 and reached the Final Four in both 2018 and 2019.

Will this be the year Reggie finally takes home the title, or will Mikey Anderson and Lucy pull off a big upset in the opening round?



No. 6 Gigi Frk

vs.

No. 11 Bauer Lizotte

Two players who weren't on the Kings roster during last year's Tournament are forced to face-off against each other in an epic Sweet 16 showdown.

Many people don't realize it, but Martin Frk was actually able to master his 109.2 MPH slapshot with the help of Gigi and her unconventional teaching methods.

Meanwhile, Blake Lizotte and his 7-and-a-half-year-old puggle, Bauer, have taught everyone to never underestimate size when it comes proving that one belongs in the big leagues.
