The other teams were trained by Will Ferrell and Snoop Dogg; Danny Devito and Al Michaels; and Hannah Strumpf and Andrew Whitworth.

“When the kings asked me, I said, 'absolutely',” said actor Skylar Astin. “I don't care if I have never thrown a few skates before. I want to be here. I'm based in Malibu, so I really have the firefighters I thanked for it. But La is one Resilient community, and I think we will do it.
