Over the years the Los Angeles Kings' scouting staff has developed a solid reputation of selecting, signing, and developing NCAA athletes. General Manager Dean Lombardi has been pretty adamant in the belief that NCAA hockey helps players mature physically and mentally before making way into the world of professional hockey. Current Kings Alec Martinez, Jonathan Quick, Matt Greene, and Rob Scuderi are just a few names on the current Kings roster who have played at the collegiate level, and in the minor leagues the organization has several former and current collegiate players edging closer to the NHL.
