Santa Clarita residents and hockey enthusiasts are in for a treat as the NHL's traveling "United by Hockey" Mobile Museum will be making a stop at The Cube—Ice and Entertainment Center, powered by FivePoint Valencia. Slated for Wednesday, December 13, from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., this free fan experience is an immersive expedition into the sport's history, showcasing the game's pioneers and business mavens.

Owing to the NHL and NHL Players’ Association's initiative, Hockey is For Everyone, the museum is a testament to the sport's inclusive spirit. Visitors get the chance to enter the virtual reality world of Team USA Paralympic gold medalist Malik Jones to understand his sled hockey journey, according to the official Santa Clarita city blog. They will also encounter adaptive hockey exhibits, focusing on blind hockey, deaf/hard of hearing hockey, and special hockey, among others.

The museum's collaboration with the Los Angeles Kings promises a valuable narrative not just for budding athletes but for the entire community interested in learning more about the indelible mark of diverse figures in hockey. Beyond the sled of Malik Jones, the exhibit includes interviews and profiles of significant sports figures that further enrich the hockey discourse.
