King carries an interesting bit of Warriors trivia -- he represented the team in the Memorial eCup staged by the Canadian Hockey League this past winter, with the PlayStation 4 NHL 21 event featuring players from all 60 CHL clubs doing battle in a massive online tournament.
He won his first-round game 5-2 against the Kamloops Blazers’ Kyrell Sopotyk but was defeated 3-1 by Jalen Luypen of the Edmonton Oil Kings in the second round. Sadly, Sopotyk suffered a career-ending back injury later that winter and continues to recover.
The Warriors open training camp on Wednesday with fitness testing at 8 a.m. at YaraCentre followed by Team White practice at 2 p.m. and Team Black practice at 3:15 p.m. at Mosaic Place.
The Black-White Intrasquad game is slated for 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 12.
