Yesterday the news of Los Angeles Kings forward Dustin Brown's announcing his retirement surprised much of the hockey world. Brown never made any hints at retiring so that made the news even more shocking.
With that news LA Kings captain and good friend of Dustin Brown,
Anze Kopitar decided to pay tribute to his buddy and long time King by giving up the Captaincy for one night so Dustin Brown could officially retire as captain of the Los Angeles Kings.
Dustin Brown was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the first round of the 2003 NHL entry draft, 13th overall. Brown scored 325 goals and had 387 assists for total of 712 points in 1296 regular season games all with Los Angeles.
Dustin Brown helped captain his Los Angeles Kings to two Stanley cups in 2012 then again in 2014. Brown's also represented Team USA hockey numerous times throughout his career.
However the Vancouver Canucks played spoiler defeating the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 in a shootout, but would pay their respect after the game with the entire Vancouver Canucks roster shaking hands with Brown, who many have battled against Brown over the past 15 years.
