TheToyota Sports Performance Center is a practice facility for theLos Angeles Kings, and theOntario Reign, located on 555 North Nash Street inEl Segundo, California. The $24 million, 135,000 square feet (12,500 m2) facility broke ground on April 28, 1999, and officially opened on March 5, 2000.
The facility is located on the grounds of the Grand Avenue Corporate Center. The facility includes three public ice rinks, NHL size, Olympic size, and a smaller size ice rink (the smaller-sized rink was originally an inline and roller skating rink, and was turned into an ice rink, completed in September 2011), sports medicine (formerly the basketball court), and a restaurant. In addition, the property houses complete training facilities, including locker rooms and office space for the Kings and Lakers. The facility's three public ice rinks hosts several amateur and youth hockey leagues throughout the year. One million guests pass through the doors of the facility annually.
It is also an important training center for elitefigure skaters, withFrank Carroll as head coach. Skaters who have trained at this rink includeMichelle Kwan,Timothy Goebel,Evan Lysacek,Beatrisa Liang,Gracie Gold, andMirai Nagasu.
The facility can be accessed by theMetro C Line near theEl Segundo Station and theMariposa Station.
The Toyota Sports Performance Center is home to the Los Angeles Jr. Kings Hockey Program. The Jr. Kings program has seen tremendous growth since their move to the Toyota Sports Performance Center upon its opening. Due to the program's increasing number of teams, they now play some home games at The Rinks-Lakewood ICE, in Lakewood, California, as well.
The center is owned by theAnschutz Entertainment Group, sponsored byToyota, and operated byAmerican Skating Entertainment Centers. TheNBA Development League'sLos Angeles D-Fenders played their home games here from the 2011–12 to 2016–17 seasons.
Beginning in the 2017–18 season, Lakers practices relocated to theUCLA Health Training Center, located two blocks away. The D-Fenders also switched to the new arena and were re-branded as theSouth Bay Lakers.
With the relocation of the Lakers, theOntario Reign has moved their practices to the Toyota Sports Center in 2019, effectively making the facility a fully operationalLos Angeles Kings facility.
The facility was designed by architectJon Drezner.[1]
