Stacia robitaille biography books

As his jersey goes to rafters, Robitaille works to bring the Cup to his L.A. fans
The walls of Luc Robitaille’s office are bare and, except for a flat-screen TV, devoid of signs that its occupant is the most prolific left wing who ever skated on NHL rinks.
His standard-issue desk and shelves are nearly empty too. They display no sticks or pucks from his 668 goals, 10th-most in league history. No evidence that he was the rookie of the year in 1987 or a first-team All Star five times, just a family photo and three laptop computers.
Chatting with some visitors recently, he was startled when one of the computers beeped loudly to alert him to an appointment.
“It looks like I’m this computer genius,” he said, laughing. “Meanwhile, I don’t know how to turn it on.”
After a splendid career that encompassed 19 seasons, 14 with the Kings, Robitaille has become a rookie business executive. But it would be as foolish to doubt his prospects now as it was in 1984, when he was passed over 170 times before the Kings claimed him in the ninth round of the entry draft.
The kid who supposedly couldn’t skate, whose junior statistics were disparaged as inflated by the Quebec League’s undisciplined style, will become the fifth Kings player to have his jersey retired, tonight at Staples Center.

Nothing says midwinter fun quite like an onslaught of Canadian hockey players coming into town, and, with the return of the Luc Robitaille Celebrity Shootout this January, it looks like the fun is about to return.
The shootout, which brings NHL athletes and actors together to raise money for youth, is returning for its second year to the Park City Ice Arena. According to Robitaille, who owns a second home with wife, Stacia, in Heber, the event is here to stay.
“We’re looking forward to making it better year after year,” Luc said.
The event will feature a celebrity hockey game, complete with celebrity coaches and NHL players and actors on both teams.
Luc, who is currently the president of business operations for the Los Angeles Kings, played 19 seasons in the NHL. During that time, he won a Stanley Cup and holds the record as the highest scoring left winger in history. Stacia is also a bit of a celebrity herself, with her own record company, Raystone Records, and a resume that includes singer, songwriter, recording artist and executive producer. With those kinds of connections, the two decided to join forces to make a difference with the celebrity hockey game.
The list of NHL players that could attend includes Marcel Dionne, Marty McSorley, Mark Messier,
