08:24 AM ET 10.12 | On the surface, a writer leaving his post with the Los Angeles Kings' organization for The Orange County Register to cover USC sports appeared to be pretty straightforward. But speaking before a sports business class at USC's Annenberg School of Communications and Journalism on Wednesday night, [Rich Hammond] elaborated that recent pushback from the NHL for a story he did during the current lockout resulted in him reconsidering how effectively he could continue to work in that role. ... "The league wanted the story taken down," said Hammond, who stressed the Kings organization did not take issue with it. "Technically, they were saying that as a team employee, I had to abide by their rules of not discussing the lockout."
