Although the LA Kings are consistently one of the best teams in the NHL, many fans would rather focus on the Queens of the Staples Center: AKA, The LA Kings Ice Crew
Janina Storace, 2015/16 ice crew member, gives us an inside look of what it's like to be part of the LA Kings organization.
She also shares the best pick-up line she's ever heard, tells us about her worst date and confesses whether or not NHL players actually hook up with ice crew girls.
It's a 20 questions interview so hot, it doesn't just break the ice... it melts it.
