Kyle Garcia 
With training camp just around the corner, we are previewing each player on the LA Kings roster. Up next: Jacob Doty!
Jacob Doty
Birthdate: June 19, 1993
Birthplace: Denver, Colorado
Height: 6’4
Weight: 230 lbs
Position: Right wing
Shoots: Right
Draft: Undrafted
2025-26 season
Jacob Doty finished his seventh season with the Reign as an enforcer. Seven seasons with an AHL team is a big accomplishment because the Reign highly value Doty’s leadership, and AHL rosters see plenty of year-to-year turnover.
Doty didn’t play every single game, but when he did, his job was simple. Hit and fight. That’s it, and he does it well. You won’t see him score 10 goals a year, but you will see him throw hands with an opposing player and not be afraid to stand up for his teammates.

2026-27 outlook
Doty will return for his eighth season with the Reign after being re-signed to a one-year AHL contract, making him the longest-tenured Reign player on the roster. Doty won’t be an everyday player again, but when inserted into the lineup, he will provide toughness and protect his teammates.
Ding, ding! 🔔 Dotes is BACK!! 👊💥
We’ve signed forward Jacob Doty to an AHL contract for the 2026-27 season!
