For over 25 years, South Park has been a part of Comedy Central, and over that time, they have become connected with the Los Angeles Kings. The reason is that not only the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, but also their producer, Frank Angone, are fans of the Kings and have been able to bring their work to the Kings, but also the NHL as a whole.
In 2017, when the NHL All-Star Game was in Los Angeles, they helped the league create a unique poster for the event, drawing all the players in a South Park style.
Which South Park character regularly makes an appearance at Los Angeles Kings' home games?
Usually before the start of games, Cartman is the one who is tasked with getting the fans excited for the game and leading the 'Go Kings Go' chant. That isn't all and more times than not he can be seen mocking the opponent.
In the video below, there is a compilation of some of the clips of Cartman before the game. He can be seen interacting with Kenny as an Anaheim Ducks fan to playing the blues before the Kings play the St. Louis Blues to checking an Edmonton Oilers fan, all before he gets the fans in attendance cheering 'Go Kings Go'.
However, the Los Angeles Kings have appreciated having Cartman as a fan and would "send him a jersey" for his birthday last summer.

Every team has different unique things they do to make the experience at the stadium a special experience. However, the way the Kings have been able to incorporate Cartman and South Park into the game experience makes it one of the cooler things around the league.
