So Cal's All-Time Roster: No. 97

One lousy season at Staples Center -- 58 games, nine goals, 13 assists, 36 penalty minutes -- and he was gone. Picked up as a big name in the year after the lockout season, Roenick did a tremendous job as an ambassador for the team even if his time on the ice was limited. His reputation with Chicago, Philadelphia and Phoenix made him a great name signing. But he was gone back to Phoenix the next season, and now is with San Jose, signing a $500,000 deal.
When Roenick appeared in an exhibition game with San Jose last month, the Staples Center fans booed him.
"I'm trying to forget about L.A. to be honest," he told the San Jose Mercury News. "That wasn't a very good time for me."
The guy's got 495 career goals with 675 assists going into this season. And during the Kings' two-game series against the Ducks in London recently, an ESPN.com columnist spotted someone wearing a Roenick Kings' No. 97 sweater.
Plus, our friends (Chicago natives) still have a dog named Roenick, so his legend lives on. In little piles in their backyard.
