“We’re proud to welcome Twilio, an industry leader in customer engagement, as our official away helmet partner,” said LA Kings President, Luc Robitaille. “Their technology platform will help us communicate with season ticket members and fans in more personalized, meaningful ways – deepening their connection to the team whether they’re cheering from our home ice at Crypto.com Arena or following us on the road.”
