Dodgers: Chase Utley Drops Ceremonial Puck at LA Kings Game

Chase Utley has retired, but his popularity with fans of LA sports remains. Fans still talk about him, and even base their impressive works of art on his hard-nosed personality.

Dodger fans have always loved Chase Utley, even though most of his career was played for a team that beat the Dodgers in the playoffs. Chase himself is an LA native and went to UCLA. He makes his home with his family in southern California. Last year Chase Utley also joined the SNLA crew for a handful of games. All pretty great stuff for a player so legendary in Philadelphia, that he is referenced heavily on the show, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

Kings and Foxes

The silver fox must have had a good luck effect on the Kings, (20-33-5) as the were able to beat the Flames by a final score of 5-3.
