KINGS HOCKEY OPERATIONS
DEAN LOMBARDI – PRESIDENT/GENERAL MANAGER
The Kings entered into a new executive era when the club hired Dean Lombardi as Kings President/General Manager on April 21,
2006. A veteran of 20 NHL seasons in the front office as an executive and a pro scout, Lombardi has a well-earned reputation for
being one of hockey’s true visionaries while possessing a solid track record of success, building from within, and of development on
the ice and infrastructure off the ice.
Lombardi -- formerly a member of the San Jose Sharks front office for 13 years, including seven seasons as General Manager and most
recently a Pro Scout for the Philadelphia Flyers for two seasons -- became the eighth General Manager in Kings history. He is
responsible for all hockey operations decisions, including all NHL player-personnel moves, directing the professional and amateur
scouting staffs, negotiating all contract matters and overseeing the Manchester Monarchs (AHL).
Lombardi is now in his fourth season with the Kings, and due to the hard and patient work of Lombardi and his staff, the Kings are
now in a position where they expect to contend for the playoffs and continue toward establishing themselves among the NHL’s elite
teams. These expectations are the direct result of Lombardi’s first actions on the job with the Kings, as he immediately went to work
on building his club’s reserve list, a methodical process that initially focused heavily on the need to improve the backend.
As part of that process, which is critical to building and to Lombardi’s overall vision, he revamped and improved the structure of the
club’s scouting staff on the whole and the amateur scouting division in particular. Then Lombardi took the step of creating and
overseeing a player development department to help the franchise take monumental steps forward off the ice all in an effort to create
and instill a culture of winning.
At the draft table, the Kings have used 38 overall selections since Lombardi was appointed to his position, including six in the first
round, five in second round and seven in the third round. The Kings have chosen at least one player in each of these rounds the last
four years, and going forward the Kings have 10 selections in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, including six in the first three rounds.
Lombardi has clearly valued the draft more than any other GM in Kings history, and the talent the Kings have drafted is the envy of
hockey clubs around the league. Kings players selected by Lombardi and staff include: Drew Doughty, Wayne Simmonds, Oscar
Moller, Jonathan Bernier, Colten Teubert, Jeff Zatkoff, Thomas Hickey, Brayden Schenn and Kyle Clifford. Throughout the last four
years, Lombardi has also resisted altering his plan, and he has complimented the Kings’ roster with other young players such Jack
Johnson, the third overall selection in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft who Lombardi acquired in a trade, and with college free agent
signings such as Teddy Purcell and Davis Drewiske, who helps bolster a blueline that is suddenly one of the organization’s greatest
strengths.
While the Kings were garnering top talent at the annual NHL Entry Draft and beyond, Lombardi was also identifying a core group of
players in Los Angeles to build around. Forwards Dustin Brown, Anze Kopitar and Alexander Frolov are elite NHL forwards who
continue to improve their all-around games and grow together at this level. They have helped carry the offensive load for the Kings
the past few seasons while some of the younger prospects have continued to mature and gain valuable experience.
With a young, solid core in place – a core that also features great character -- Lombardi this past season has been able to compliment
that group with key veterans who sport a winning track record. This past summer, Ryan Smyth was acquired after waiving his notrade clause to join the Kings; Rob Scuderi, who had just won a Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh, chose to sign with the Kings; and prior
to the 2008 NHL trade deadline the Kings acquired Justin Williams, a Stanley Cup winner.
Williams, Scuderi and Smyth are joined by other veteran Kings – players like Jarret Stoll, Matt Greene, Michal Handzus and Sean
O’Donnell, a Stanley Cup winner himself, passed on free agency to re-sign with the Kings – who Lombardi has been able to bring to
Los Angeles through trade or free agency. Despite such talent, Lombardi remains a firm believer that you still draft and develop your
homegrown players while complimenting that group via trade and free agency.
Despite adding a number of veteran players, the Kings remain a relatively young team. Last year the Kings began the season as the
third youngest in the NHL, with an average age of 22.4. This year’s Kings roster features an average age of 22.8, which coincides with
Lombardi’s philosophy and track record that your team needs to get better while getting younger.
This past year, the Kings made strides in many ways on the ice as well. The Kings recorded eight more points than in 2007-08, which
is the third straight year they have improved their point total. Lombardi’s hiring of Head Coach Terry Murray also helped the Kings
develop a defensive-first mentality as they significantly cut down goals against and shots allowed. The 2008-09 season also saw stellar
play from some of the younger players on the roster, including Doughty who as a 19-year old led the team in average ice time, goalie
Jonathan Quick and Simmonds while Brown made his first NHL All Star team while serving as captain – the youngest captain in Kings
history. Kopitar also led his team in scoring for the second straight year while improving his defensive play, and he also played an
important role in the newly formed leadership group with Greene, a fellow assistant captain.
The Kings roster, as constructed by Lombardi, also features several core players under multi-year contracts. Brown signed a six-year
contract to remain with the Kings; Kopitar (seven years); Greene (five years); Stoll (four years) and Johnson (two years) all made
similar decisions to stay in Los Angeles. Williams (two years); Smyth (three years); Scuderi (four years) and Handzus (two years) are
under multi-year contracts too. Lombardi, meanwhile, has accomplished all this with the backing and support of ownership to follow
the development course while positioning the club well under the salary cap now and in the immediate future to help keep the
organization’s homegrown talent long-term.
Lombardi is aided by a talented staff, which is led by Ron Hextall, Jack Ferreira and Jeff Solomon on the hockey operations side, and
Mark Yannetti, Michael Futa, Brent McEwen and Rob Laird in scouting. The Kings scouting staff continues to grow as a unit while
building cohesiveness and continuity. Once the annual draft is completed, the work by the club’s development staff – led by Nelson
Emerson, Mike O’Connell, Kim Dillabaugh and Mike Donnelly – begins, as the Kings look to help young prospects develop and find
their identity as they take part in summer development camps and the team’s rookie camp/tournament. The development team also
works with prospects year-round at Manchester and with drafted players, and the team stresses conditioning and off-ice training more
than ever before.
During his tenure as GM in San Jose from 1996-03, meanwhile, Lombardi helped build the Sharks into one of the premier NHL teams
as they reached the playoffs five times – highlighted by two trips to the Western Conference Semifinals – and one Pacific Division title
in 2002 after his club earned a franchise-record 99 points. The Lombardi-led Sharks in 2002 also tied an NHL-record with
consecutive seasons of improved point totals (Bill Torrey/New York Islanders) while building a roster that became progressively
younger in age each season.
He also made many key personnel and player moves, stocking the Sharks organization with a good mix of veteran stars and up-andcoming youngsters, that helped make the Sharks legitimate Stanley Cup contenders, and the year after Lombardi left the franchise -when the Sharks advanced to the Western Conference Finals -- 18 of the players on that playoff club were originally acquired by
Lombardi.
From the NHL Entry Draft, Lombardi was one of the first GMs in the NHL to consistently and aggressively maneuver up and down
the draft boards, making multiple trades to enhance and improve his club’s draft position. His work helped bring San Jose players
like Patrick Marleau, Vesa Toskala, Jonathan Cheechoo, Brad Stuart, Scott Hannan, Marco Sturm, Marcel Goc and Christian Ehrhoff.
The Hockey News ranked the Sharks’ prospects (age 22 and under) as the best in the NHL in 1999-00 and second best in 2000-01.
Lombardi also, upon leaving the Sharks, left the hockey operations division in fine shape for the immediate and long-term future as
the team in 2003 had six draft choices, including two first-round draft choices in the first three rounds of that year’s Entry Draft (all
originally acquired by Lombardi) which significantly helped set the team up to enjoy their future success.
One of the fore runners in engineering three-way trades, Lombardi’s history in San Jose as it relates to trades/free agency is impressive
too, having brought in such players as Owen Nolan, Teemu Selanne, Adam Graves, Vincent Damphousse, Mike Ricci, Kyle McClaren,
Mike Vernon, Todd Harvey, Bryan Marchment and Scott Thornton. Lombardi was able to keep Evgeni Nabokov during the 2000
Expansion Draft (from two new teams) and he hired Darryl Sutter to be the club’s head coach in 1997 and Ron Wilson in 2002.
An executive in the San Jose front office beginning in 1990, Lombardi first served as Assistant General Manager, a post he held the
previous two seasons with the Minnesota North Stars, for the expansion Sharks before being elevated to Vice President, Director of
Hockey Operations in 1992. Four years later, he was named Executive Vice President and General Manager and given the
responsibility of turning around the young franchise.
In his first season at the helm, the 1996-97 campaign, the Sharks finished with the fourth most improved victory total in the NHL to
begin Lombardi’s impressive streak of year-by-year improvement, which included the five straight post-season appearances from
1997-02 when the Sharks were just one of seven NHL clubs to qualify for the playoffs during that five-year stretch.
Prior to taking over as the club’s GM, Lombardi helped the Sharks construct a team that posted the greatest single-season turnaround
in NHL history when the 1993-94 Sharks earned 82 points and the franchise’s first berth in the playoffs after the team improved by 58
points from the prior season. Another one of Lombardi’s many highlights was the Sharks’ 2000 first-round playoff upset of St. Louis
when San Jose, as the eighth seed, won a seven-game series over the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Blues.
Off the ice, Lombardi was also successful in San Jose for creating and implementing an off-ice model development program that was
designed to improve overall player performance particularly in the area of fundamentals. The principals and philosophies of the
model were based loosely off an advanced program used by Major League Baseball.
Born in Holyoke, Massachusetts, and raised in nearby Ludlow, Lombardi received his undergraduate degree from the University of
New Haven where he finished third in his class. He was the hockey team’s captain his final two seasons and he received a full athletic
scholarship and the school’s Student-Athlete of the Year Award. In 1985, Lombardi earned his Law Degree (with honors) from Tulane
Law School where he specialized in Labor Law.
Prior to joining Minnesota, Lombardi spent three seasons as a player representative, including the representation of five members of
the 1988 United States Olympic Team, and at the time he joined Minnesota’s front office Lombardi was only the second former player
agent to be employed in an NHL front office (Brian Burke/Vancouver Canucks was the other).
Dean and his wife Wandamae reside in Manhattan Beach.
RON HEXTALL – VICE PRESIDENT/ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER
Ron Hextall is in his fourth season with the Kings as Vice President/Assistant General Manager. He also serves as General Manager of
the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League, the Kings’ primary affiliate.
Hextall, 45 (5/3/64), assists President/General Manager Dean Lombardi in all facets of the Kings Hockey Operations department,
including contract negotiations and player personnel, and overseeing the organization’s top prospects. With Manchester, he oversees
that organization’s hockey operations department, and in 2006-07 that club advanced to the Eastern Conference for the first time in
franchise history. The Monarchs also made the playoffs in 2007-08.
A native of Brandon, Manitoba, Hextall, prior to joining the Kings, spent the previous four years as Director of Pro Hockey Personnel
for the Philadelphia Flyers, a club for which he played 11 standout seasons. He joined the Flyers front office in 1999 as a Pro Scout
and he was elevated to his most recent position in 2002. In his front office positions with the Flyers, Hextall was instrumental in the
club’s great success, which included three Atlantic Division titles and two trips to the Eastern Conference Finals (losing to eventual
Stanley Cup Champions both times) while the club averaged nearly 102 points per season.
Prior to his role in the front office, Hextall enjoyed a stellar 13-year NHL career as a goaltender for the Flyers, New York Islanders and
Quebec Nordiques that was highlighted by his rookie 1986-87 season with the Flyers. During that season, he was awarded the Vezina
Trophy as the NHL’s top goaltender and the Conn Smythe Trophy as Most Valuable Player in the 1987 Stanley Cup Finals, despite
losing to the Edmonton Oilers in seven games. At the conclusion of Game 7, Hextall became just the fourth player in the then 23-year
history of the trophy to win the award while being a member of the losing team in the Finals. He was also named to both the NHL
All-Rookie and NHL First All-Star Teams that season.
Originally selected by the Flyers in the sixth-round (119th overall) in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft, Ron is the fourth Hextall to play in
the NHL following his father, Bryan Jr., his grandfather, Hall of Famer Bryan, Sr., and his uncle Dennis, who played for the Kings
during the 1969-70 season. He played in 608 regular season games and recorded a 296-214-69 record including 23 shutouts, a 2.97
goals-against-average and a .895 save-percentage, and in 93 playoff games he was 47-43 with two shutouts. He holds numerous
Flyers franchise goaltending records, including an NHL-record 113 penalty minutes in 1988-89. He also owns the franchise records
for most career games played (489), career wins (240), career points (28), career penalty minutes (476) and most career playoff wins
(45) by a Flyers goalie.
Hextall, known for being one of the first goalies to regularly leave the goalmouth and play the puck with his stick and for creative and
unique designs on his goalie mask, also participated in the Stanley Cup Finals with the Flyers in 1997 against the Detroit Red Wings.
On December 8, 1987, he became the first goaltender in the history of the NHL to score a goal by shooting the puck into the net as
the Flyers defeated the Boston Bruins by a score of 5-2 at the Spectrum. On April 11, 1989, during a Flyers 8-5 playoff victory against
the Washington Capitals at the Capital Centre, he collected his second career goal and became the first goalie to score a goal in an
NHL playoff game.

KINGS COACHING STAFF
TERRY MURRAY – HEAD COACH
Terry Murray was named head coach of the Kings on July 17, 2008. He joined the Kings with a wide range of NHL experience as a
head coach, assistant coach, scout and player.
Formerly the head coach of the Washington Capitals, Florida Panthers and the Philadelphia Flyers, where he led that club to the 1997
Stanley Cup Finals, Murray is the 22nd head coach in Kings history. He has a 394-314-111 record during his 12 NHL seasons as a
head coach. Before joining the Kings, Murray was an assistant coach with the Flyers for four seasons.
In 2008-09, Murray and his coaching staff helped the Kings improve in several categories from 2007-08 (wins, points, goals against,
power play percentage and penalty kill percentage). The Kings allowed 32 fewer goals than the 2007-08 team and 49 fewer goals than
the 2006-07 squad. Los Angeles’ penalty killing percentage went from 78 percent and 30th in the NHL in 2007-08 to 82.9 percent in
2008-09, seventh best in the NHL. The Kings also had the third-best road penalty killing unit in the NHL in 2008-09, clicking at
84.5 percent. The improved defensive trend was also evident in shots allowed, as the Kings allowed the fourth fewest shots in the
NHL during the 2008-09 season (28.1/game). Other categories the Kings ranked high in were total hits (2,128, which was second
most in the NHL) and faceoff percentage (52 percent, which was fourth highest in the league).
As the head coach of the Flyers for three seasons (1994-95 through 1996-97), Murray compiled a 118-64-30 record. In addition to
the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals/Eastern Conference Championship, Murray coached the team to two Atlantic Division Championships
(1995 and 1996).
He began his NHL head coaching career with Washington for five seasons (1989-90 through 1993-94) and compiled a 163-134-28
record with the Capitals. In his first season he helped lead the Capitals to the Eastern Conference Finals. Murray also coached Florida
for three seasons (1998-99 through 2000-01) and compiled a 79-79-42 record, which included a franchise-record 98-point season
and a team-record 43 wins in 1999-00. In all, Murray has guided his club to the playoffs in nine of his 12 seasons, and he has a 4643 playoff record as a head coach.
Murray also served as an assistant coach with the Capitals (1983-84 through 1987-88); as head coach with the Baltimore Skipjacks of
the American Hockey League (from 1988-89 through 1989-90); and as head coach with the Cincinnati Cyclones of the International
Hockey League (1993-94).
As an NHL defenseman, Murray, 59 (7/20/50), played in 302 career NHL regular season games over eight seasons with Washington,
Philadelphia (two stints), the Detroit Red Wings and the California Golden Seals/California Seals, who originally drafted Murray in the
seventh round (88th overall) in the 1970 NHL Amateur Draft. In those 302 regular season games he accumulated 80 points (476=80) and 199 penalty minutes. Murray also played in 18 playoff games during his playing career, notching four points (2-2=4) and
10 penalty minutes.
A native of Shawville, Quebec, Terry and his wife Linda have two daughters, Meaghan and Lindsey.
MARK HARDY – ASSISTANT COACH
Mark Hardy returned to the Kings as an Assistant Coach on August 4, 2008. Hardy has followed a 15-year NHL playing career – which
included two stints as a Kings defenseman (1979-88 and 1992-94) – with a successful coaching career that includes serving as a Kings
Assistant Coach from 1999-2006.
During his first coaching tenure with the Kings, Hardy’s responsibilities focused on defensive play, penalty killing and overall play
without the puck. Hardy’s penalty killing unit ranked third in the NHL for the 2001-02 season with an 86.6 percent success rate (the
second best in Kings history).
Hardy from 2006-08 served as an Assistant Coach with the Chicago Blackhawks, where he successfully oversaw the development of a
young blueline that played a major role in the Blackhawks team goals-against-average going from 3.40 during the 2005-06 season to
2.82 during the 2007-08 season. He also served as an Assistant Coach with the Long Beach Ice Dogs (IHL) for four seasons (1995-96
through 1998-99).
As a player, Hardy ranks 17th on the Kings all-time scoring list (and third on the Kings all-time defensemen scoring list) with 303
points in his 11 seasons with the Kings. The Semaden, Switzerland, native also played in 41 career postseason games with the Kings,
and he was a member of the Kings club that advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1993.
Originally selected by the Kings in the second round (30th overall) in the 1979 NHL Entry Draft, Hardy, 49 (2/1/59), recorded 368
points (62-306=368) and 1,293 penalty minutes in 915 career regular season games with the Kings, Minnesota North Stars and New
York Rangers. With the Kings, he was twice named the Kings Outstanding Defenseman (1984-85 and 1986-87). In addition, he
ranks second in assists (250), third in games played (616), fifth in penalty minutes (858) and fifth in goals (53) amongst Kings
defensemen all-time.
Mark and his wife Kristina reside in Manhattan Beach. They have two children, daughter Jessica and son Kevin.

Director of Amateur Development. Last year, Kompon, who was named to the club’s coaching staff on July 10, 2006, was an assistant
to Head Coach Terry Murray.
Prior to coming to Los Angeles, Kompon worked for nine seasons with the St. Louis Blues organization where he most recently served
as the Assistant Coach/Video Coach. He began his stint with the Blues as the Video Coach in 1997. He added Strength and
Conditioning Coach to his title during the 2002-03 season, and in the spring of 2006 he was on the coaching staff of Team Canada at
the World Championships in Latvia where he served as Video Coach.
Prior to joining the Blues, Kompon was an Assistant Coach with the Baltimore Bandits of the American Hockey League for the 199697 season and he also served as Co-Head Coach at McGill University in Montreal in 1994-95 after being employed there as an
Assistant Coach for three seasons.
Born in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Kompon, 43 (9/18/66), also played four seasons as a defenseman at McGill (1985-89) and then he

Ranford, 42 (12/14/66), had worked as the Goaltending Consultant with the Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League for two
seasons before joining the Kings. In addition, Ranford -- a two-time Stanley Cup Champion goalie with the Edmonton Oilers in 1988
and 1990 and the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as the playoff MVP in 1990 -- has also worked as a Goaltending Consultant with the
Burnaby Express of the British Columbia Hockey League (Tier II Junior), of which he is a part-owner.
Ranford, who shares the NHL’s single season playoff record for most wins by a goaltender with 16 victories in 1990, completed a
stellar 15-year NHL playing career following the 1999-00 season. Originally selected by the Boston Bruins in the third-round (52nd
overall) of the 1985 NHL Entry Draft, Ranford had a regular season record of 240-279-76, 15 shutouts, a 3.41 goals-against-average

THE GOAL: A RETURN TO THE STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS THIS SEASON
Kings President/General Manager Dean Lombardi has resisted the temptation to go for a quick fix and instead has patiently
rebuilt the Kings the right way.
Strengthening the reserve list and building a core roster that gets progressively younger from year to year were at the top of the
“Things To Do” list when Lombardi joined the Kings in 2006. Now four years later, Lombardi has positioned the Kings to not
only contend for the playoffs this season, but to also contend long-term.
Kings’ fans can clearly see how the plan has come together with the influx of young talent to the roster over the past few
seasons. Players like Drew Doughty,
Doughty Jack Johnson,
Johnson Oscar Moller,
Moller Wayne Simmonds,
Simmonds Teddy Purcell and Jonathan Quick
have followed the lead of core players like Anze Kopitar, Dustin Brown, Alexander Frolov, Jarret Stoll and Matt Greene and
Michal Handzus.
Handzus
Two former Stanley Cup champions were also added to the team during the 2008-09 season as Sean O’Donnell and Justin
Williams were both acquired via trade. Both are known as character players and both understand what it takes to win hockey’s
ultimate prize.
Another player that certainly understands the sacrifice needed to be a champion is Rob Scuderi
Scu deri.
deri The defenseman won the
2009 Stanley Cup championship with Pittsburgh. But, instead of re-signing with the Penguins, Scuderi chose instead to sign as
a free agent with the Kings, a great indication of how far the organization has come and how players around the league can see
where this organization is headed in the very near future. With Scuderi, the Kings added versatility as he can play on the right
side or the left side, and with an offensive or a defensive-minded partner. The Kings were also looking for a player with grit and
a winning attitude who’s willing to go into the tough areas on the ice to score goals, and they believe they found that player in
Ryan Smyth,
Smyth who waived his no-trade clause with Colorado to clear the way for a trade to LA.
SCOUTING: AMATEUR AND PRO
Kings President/General Manager Dean Lombardi firmly believes that to win in the NHL, a team needs to both draft and
develop homegrown players while complimenting that group of developing Kings via both trade and free agency.
Mark Yannetti and Michael Futa serve as Co-Directors of Amateur Scouting for the Kings, and they, along with Amateur Scout
(Western Canada) Brent McEwen,
McEwen share that vision with Lombardi.
Yannetti and Futa lead a group of dedicated and respected amateur scouts who spend numerous hours traveling the world each
season in search of young players who have both the character and the talent to someday develop into core members of the
Kings.
The Kings also boast a strong pro scouting department led by Rob Laird . Like their counterparts on the amateur side, these
pro scouts spend countless hours analyzing what other teams have both at the NHL level and within their system so that when
the Kings are in the position to make a trade, the organization has a great understanding of what type of player the Kings are
trading for.
KINGS DRAFT REVIEW: 2006-2009
The Kings entered the 2009 NHL Entry Draft with 13 selections over seven rounds and they turned quantity into quality
prospects by first selecting gritty center Brayden Schenn,
Schenn the younger brother of NHL defenseman Luke Schenn,
Schenn with the fifth
overall pick in the first round. “The number one attribute for Brayden is his competitiveness,” said Kings President/General
Manager Dean Lombardi from the Kings’ draft table in Montreal.
Kyle Clifford was the first of nine more players selected by the Kings on the second day of the draft. Clifford, picked in the
second round and 35th overall, fit the theme of the draft, which according to Kings Co-Director of Amateur Scouting Michael
Futa,
Futa was competitiveness.
“The day unfolded really well for us,” said Futa. “We got a good mix of players with a lot of skill, but they will also be tough to
play against.”
The Kings also engineered four trades during the draft, and the trades put the Kings in great position to aggressively work the
2010 draft with 10 total picks, including six picks in the first three rounds (one in the first, two in the second and three in the
third).
With Lombardi at the helm, the Kings last four drafts have been among the most fruitful in franchise history.
All four drafts are listed below with players who’ve already made NHL debuts highlighted in BOLD.

AGE DISTRIBUTION: GETTING BETTER WHILE STRENGTHENING THE RESERVE LIST
To contend long-term, the Kings knew they would need to increase their level of talent on the reserve list while at the same time
getting progressively younger from season to season. Now four years into the process, the reserve list is flush with young talent
and the Kings average age per player entering training camp is less than 23-years-old.
Of the 61 players on the Kings training camp roster, 48 are 25-or-younger.

August and he’s also eligible to represent Team USA at the 2010 World Junior Championships. Czarnik, a Detroit native who’s
enrolled at the University of Michigan, will not be attending Kings training camp.

LUCKY LOOKING FORWARD TO HALL OF FAME INDUCTION
Luc Robitaille,
Robitaille the highest scoring left wing in NHL history and the all-time Kings leader in goals, this past June was selected
for the Hockey Hall of Fame. Robitaille, the Kings’ President, Business Operations, joins Steve Yzerman,
Yzerman Brett Hull and Brian
Leetch as part of the 2009 Induction Class, with induction ceremonies set for November 9 in Toronto.
“What I am feeling right now is very difficult to explain,” said Robitaille upon learning the news on June 23. “I never set out to
accomplish anything like this. When I was a kid, I dreamed of playing in the National Hockey League, and to now be alongside
greats like Rocket Richard, Guy Lafleur and Wayne Gretzky is not only indescribable, it is beyond anything I ever dreamed of. I
also want to congratulate Steve, Brett and Brian, three players I was fortunate to have played with during my career.”
Originally selected by the Kings in the ninth round (171st overall) of the 1984 NHL Entry Draft, Robitaille went on to play in
1,431 career regular season games with the Kings, Detroit Red Wings – where he won a Stanley Cup in 2002 – New York
Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins. Robitaille recorded 1,394 points and he scored 668 goals, both records by an NHL left wing,
while in 159 playoff games he had 127 points (58-69=127).
Robitaille has been honored with several awards and he has set numerous records throughout his Hall of Fame career. In
addition to being the highest scoring left wing in NHL history and the left winger with the most goals ever, he ranks 10th in
overall NHL goal scoring, 20th in overall NHL scoring and he is the only left wing in NHL history to record eight consecutive
40-goal seasons (all with the Kings).
