1983 -after the disastrous 1982 season, LA Gold looked stronger going into 1983. Rookie forward August Palmer was drafted from UCLA and thrown into the starting line up. LA showed some fire and stayed in contention for a play-off place for most of the season with August Palmer scoring incredible numbers on his way to a rookie of the year win. However LA showed a lack of squad depth and fizzled out, just short of a play-off place. Never the less this was seen as a major improvement and there was hope that in 1984 LA would be back in contention.
