Los Angeles Kings Mascot Hockey Puck by Mustang Drinkware - Bailey the Lion on Official NHL Rubber
The King of the Ice Has His Own Puck
If you have spent any time inside Crypto.com Arena on a Kings game night, you already know Bailey. The big, six-foot lion with the silver-and-black jersey and the booming drum has been rallying fans with "Go Kings Go!" since 2007, and he has earned his place as one of the most beloved mascots in the NHL. Now Bailey gets his own piece of official NHL rubber, and for fans who want to bring a little of that Staples Center energy home, the Los Angeles Kings Mascot Hockey Puck by Mustang Drinkware is a natural addition to any collection. 🏒
About Bailey and the Kings Legacy
Bailey the lion was introduced to represent a franchise that was already building toward something special. Just a few years after his debut, the Kings turned the hockey world upside down. In 2012, an eighth-seeded Kings team went on one of the greatest playoff runs in NHL history, sweeping three straight series before defeating the New Jersey Devils in six games to claim the franchise's first Stanley Cup. Two years later, in 2014, they did it again, downing the New York Rangers four games to one to cement Los Angeles as a genuine two-time championship city.
Bailey was there for all of it, pounding his drum and whipping the crowd into a frenzy for every series. The mascot carries extra meaning for the organization as well. He was named in honor of Garnet "Ace" Bailey, the Kings' Director of Pro Scouting who was lost on September 11, 2001. Every appearance Bailey makes is a quiet tribute to the people who helped build this franchise.
What Makes This Puck Special
Mustang Drinkware produces officially licensed NHL collectibles, and their mascot-series pucks have developed a following among fans who want something a little more playful alongside the traditional logo fare. This puck features distinctive graphics centered on Bailey, rendered in the Kings' silver and black color scheme. The imagery is clean and bold, designed to pop when displayed rather than tucked in a drawer.
The puck itself is standard NHL regulation size, made from the same vulcanized rubber used in professional play. That matters to collectors who care about authenticity. You are not holding a foam novelty or a soft souvenir from a gift shop. The weight, diameter, and feel are all there. ⭐
Souvenir Pucks Are a Legitimate Collecting Category
I want to say something directly to collectors who sometimes feel like souvenir pucks sit below game-used pieces in the hierarchy: they absolutely do not. Souvenir and novelty pucks have their own history, their own scarcity windows, and their own community. A well-designed mascot puck from an officially licensed manufacturer often appreciates in the secondary market precisely because print runs are limited and demand is steady from team fans who may never even identify as "serious collectors."
"Some of the most fun pieces in my collection are mascot pucks. They tell you something about a team's culture and the era they came from that a plain logo puck never quite captures."
Bailey pucks in particular have a built-in audience. The Kings have two championships, a nationally followed fanbase, and a mascot with genuine personality and community presence. That combination means demand does not fade when the season ends. 🎯
Physical Details and Display Notes
The graphic placement on Mustang Drinkware pucks runs edge to edge on the face, with the branding centered for display purposes. The reverse side carries the Mustang Drinkware and NHL licensing marks, which authenticate the piece for any future resale or appraisal. Condition is important here as with any collectible. The printed surface can show micro-scratches from handling, so keep the puck in its packaging until you are ready to display it permanently.
For display, an acrylic puck cube is the go-to choice. A single-cube stand keeps the graphic facing forward and protects the surface without trapping moisture the way a closed box can. If you are building out a Kings shelf, this Bailey puck pairs nicely with a framed jersey or a pennant from either championship year. The silver-and-black palette is consistent across Kings merchandise eras, so it blends cleanly with both vintage and modern pieces.
A Puck for Every Kings Fan
Not every collectible needs to be authenticated game-used to have a place on the shelf. This Los Angeles Kings Mascot Hockey Puck is a well-made, officially licensed piece that celebrates one of the NHL's most recognizable mascots and one of the league's most successful franchises of the past two decades. Whether you are just starting your Kings collection or looking to fill in a mascot-series gap, Bailey is ready to take his place in the display case.
