The highest-scoring left wing in NHL history is giving the team the business now adays. In May, he was promoted to president of business operations for the team that he starred for 14 seasons. "I have invested so much of myself into this organization since I was drafted here in 1984 and I look forward to the opportunity to truly have an impact on our future success," Robitaille said. "I have gained tremendous experience this past year with AEG [Anschutz Entertainment Group] and the Kings, and I look forward to continued growth as a business professional in this great city." In 19 seasons, Robitaille racked up 668 goals and 726 assists, spending time with Detroit, the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh before returning to the Kings to finish his career.
The fans are never booing Luc, who wasn't taken by the Kings until the ninth round of the '84 NHL draft (after they took future major league pitcher Tom Glavine).
His career with the Kings started with winning the Calder Trophy (top rookie) by scoring 45 goals and getting 39 assists in his first season.
That season, he was given the nickname "Lucky" by teammate Tiger Williams.
"We had a player on our team named Morris Lukowich and everyone would call him Luke," Robitaille said. "So every time anyone called out "Luke," we would both turn around. In my rookie year, I was living with Marcel Dionne at his house, and after my very first game, Tiger started calling me "Lucky." Guys started asking him why he was calling me "Lucky," and he said partly because of the Morris Lukowich confusion, but mostly because I was a rookie living in the biggest house on the team! Every day, I drove to practice in a Mercedes, which was Marcel's car; and I also scored a goal on my first shot on my first shift in the NHL. So that was pretty lucky. I couldn't argue with that."
The capper to his career came on Jan. 19, 2006 when he broke the team's all-time franchise scoring record with his 551st goal, scoring a hat trick against Atlanta in the process.
As for the fact Robitaille was drafted by the Kings four rounds after Glavine, Luc got the last laugh on that one.
"I met him after we won the Cup when I played for Detroit," Robitaille told ESPN.com. "I brought the Cup back here to Los Angeles and had a big party at my house Saturday night. Sunday, we decided to take the Cup all around Los Angeles, places it had never been. So I took it to the Hollywood sign, I took it to the beach, to Sunset Boulevard, to Universal Studios, and then to Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers were playing the Braves that weekend, so Glavine was there and I took a picture with him and the Cup. We got a kick out of that."
So do the Kings fans who continue to wear his sweater at every home game.

The 1965 Heisman winner, and the first to do it in USC history. The school's athletic director is a charter member of the USC Hall of Fame and enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame as well.
