Meadow Lake’s King family reflects on call to Sask Hockey Hall
The Ted Knight Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame recently announced its 2023 Induction Class for the fall ceremony that will take place in Meadow Lake at the end of August.
Among the local-area inductees recognized this year are Meadow Lake’s King family, featuring former NHL players Dwight King and D.J. King, and their sisters Dayna King and Danene Kopperud— each of whom played at the University of Saskatchewan.
The four will be enshrined together in the Builder/Grassroots Category.
Dwight King, who won a pair of Stanley Cups with the Los Angeles Kings (2012, 2014), and played more than 365 games at the highest level, said hockey has always played a key role in their lives for as long as he can remember.
