LA Kings prospect Akil Thomas revealed that he’s using the larger rink in Germany to work on a few aspects of his game, but he knows an adjustment will be needed once he returns to North America.

Akil Thomas revealed on a recent podcast that he has loved every aspect of playing on the larger rink in Germany. The LA Kings‘ 2019 second-round pick is a co-host on the Soul on Ice Podcast, discussing his experience playing overseas for the first time.

Along with four other members of the Kings prospect pool, he was loaned to Eisbären Berlin to continue their development in training camp and preseason games.
