A big addition was made to the Los Angeles Kings' lineup roster for the Development Camp for top prospects in the team's minor league and developmental organization this upcoming summer in this next few months. It sounds like the Kings have added the NCAA's leading goal scorer from this past season in college hockey, Dartmouth Big Green star Hayden Stavroff, to this summer's Development Camp roster lineup.

Top NCAA goal scorer Hayden Stavroff from Dartmouth to join the Los Angeles Kings summer Development Camp this upcoming offseason

It was first reported by Mayors Manor on Tuesday afternoon (April 7) that the Kings had added Stavroff for this upcoming summer's development camp this upcoming offseason in 2026.

Stavroff led the NCAA this past regular season in goals scored (29), and he ranked in the top 10 in total points scored in college hockey for Dartmouth in the 2025-26 campaign. The 5-foot-11 second-year forward won the ECAC Player of the Year award this past season for Dartmouth. He was also named the Ivy League Player of the Year this past season.

This past offseason in the summer of 2025, the Washington Capitals hosted Stavroff at their Development Camp.

It's also noteworthy that the Kings are reportedly expected to add right-handed defenseman and Colgate Raiders standout Isaiah Norlin to the development camp roster lineup this upcoming summer.

Stavroff's linemate on the blue line at Dartmouth this past season in college in the NCAA, Hank Cleaves, could reportedly possibly join Hayden with the Kings at summer development camp this upcoming offseason in 2026. The fact that Stavroff is going to the Kings' development camp this upcoming summer this offseason could help to convince Cleaves about joining other top prospects for LA.

We'll continue to have more coverage regarding the Kings' additions to the summer Development Camp roster this upcoming offseason in 2026 in the coming weeks this spring.
