Brown put up 325 career goals and 387 career assists for 712 career points in 1296 career NHL games with the Kings. Also, in 2014, Dustin won another Stanley Cup.

Dustin Brown helped lead the L.A. Kings to their first Stanley Cup championship in 2012. Brown represented Team USA in two world junior championships, four men’s World Championships, the 2010 Olympics, and the 2014 Olympics.

“I know the Kings family very, very well, but USA Hockey gave me an opportunity to meet a lot of different people I wouldn’t have otherwise met along the way, and those relationships I still have to this day.”
