"The NHL requires each home team to have an emergency goalie in the stands at every game. It is rare that one of these goalies sees action in a game but it can happen. One of our fans might have the chance to live out their NHL dream at STAPLES Center and that begins on September 23 with our open tryout," said Kings President and Hockey Hall of Famer Luc Robitaille in a statment on Monday.

"We look forward to scouting our local talent."

Qualified candates must meet these qualifications:

The candidate must not have signed a contract to play in any professional league. If the player played on a tryout agreement they may still qualify for amateur status.
