Los Angeles Avengers News Release
LOS ANGELES - Even though it is the off-season, Avenger players, coaches and "A-Team" dancers regularly visit schools, hospitals and community events.
This week, head coach Ed Hodgkiss, assistant head coach Brent Winter, director of football operations Jason McKay and "A-Team" dancers Allison and Lisa spent Monday, July 23 at the STAPLES Center Premium Seating Golf Tournament. Hodgkiss, Winter and McKay took the opportunity to talk Avenger fans, while "A-Team" dancers signed autographs and took pictures with the golfers.
"It's great to come out here and play golf with all the fans of the different sports teams that call STAPLES Center home," Hodgkiss said. "This is a first-class event put on for the fans of the L.A."
As the home of five professional sports franchises - the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers, the NHL's Los Angeles Kings, the AFL's Los Angeles Avengers and the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks - STAPLES Center has proven to be a home court advantage for the local teams. The Lakers capped-off each of their first three seasons at STAPLES Center by winning consecutive NBA Championships while the Sparks captured back-to-back WNBA Championships in their debut seasons at STAPLES Center. The Kings, Clippers and Avengers have all set franchise records for attendance and sellouts in each of the eight seasons they have called STAPLES Center home.
