Luc Jean-Marie Robitaille[1][2] (born February 17, 1966) is a Canadian–American professional ice hockey executive and former player who serves as president of the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL).
During his 19-season NHL career, Robitaille won the Stanley Cup in 2001–02 with the Detroit Red Wings, and played for the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers, but is most known for his 14 seasons (over three different stints) with the Los Angeles Kings.[3] He served as the Kings' team captain during the 1992–93 season (while Wayne Gretzky was injured) and for the final two games of the 2005–06 season. Robitaille retired after the 2005–06 season as the highest-scoring left winger in NHL history and the holder of several Kings franchise records,[4] along with numerous Kings playoff records.[5] In 2017, Robitaille was named one of the "100 Greatest NHL Players" in history.[6]
