“The Kings fiercely want this Stanley Cup,” said Bernstein, who has also photographed the LA Lakers for decades. “From my up-close view behind the lens during games to the behind the scenes with the team, I know they have the talent and heart to take home ‘The Cup’.”

Since 1980, Bernstein has covered all 18 Kings NHL playoff series that the team has played in. The Kings were the first professional sports team that Bernstein photographed for and Bernstein said of capturing moments during the Stanley Cup playoffs, “The passion is evident, for both the Kings and Devils, and I’m on my toes each game eager to get shots that portray how intense these playoff moments truly are.”
