The Los Angeles Kings are celebrating one of their brightest young stars today as Quinton Byfield turns 23. Byfield was born on August 19, 2002, and has quickly established himself as a key part of the Kings' future, with size, speed, and skill in ways few have achieved.

Byfield's breakout 2024-25 season saw him score 23 goals and add 31 assists for a total of 54 points in 81 games, all career highs. He demonstrated his playmaking skills alongside Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe, as well as his ability to play a two-way game in top-six minutes.
Drafted second overall at the 2020 NHL Draft, Byfield has progressively grown into his role, and at just 23 years old, his very best hockey is still ahead. Kings supporters have every reason to be excited about his development as he continues to come of age as one of the NHL's most promising young forwards.
Happy Birthday, Quinton Byfield!
