Committee Chairman

Committee Chairman

Tom Williams played 25 Games with the New York Rangers before being traded to Los Angeles, where he had his greatest success in Hockey.

The Left Wing played with the Kings until 1979, excelling on tertiary lines, but had one standout year in 1976/77 when he scored 35 goals and accumulated 74 points overall.  He was traded to the St. Louis Blues in the '79 offseason but never made their team and retired shortly after.

Williams scored 249 Points in 372 Games for Los Angeles.

Sean O’Donnell was traded to the Los Angeles Kings before he made it to the NHL with the team that drafted him, the Buffalo Sabers.  It was with the Kings that he first proved his merits.

O'Donnell played his first five NHL seasons with the Kings, using his grit and fists to protect his end and display traditional stay-at-home defensive acumen.  The blueliner had triple-digits in PIM in year two to year five of his run with L.A., and his toughness may not have yielded goals, but it did prevent them.

Left unprotected in the Expansion Draft, O'Donnell departed Los Angeles for Minnesota in 2000, but he returned as a Stanley Cup Champion in 2008 when the Anaheim Ducks sent him back to Los Angeles.  He served the Kings for two more years before leaving as a Free Agent to Philadelphia.

Overall, O'Donnell played 541 of his 1,224 Games with the Kings, with 98 Points and 940 Penalty Minutes. 

Garry Galley had two stints with the Los Angeles Kings, the first coming after he was the 100th Overall Pick in the 1983 Draft, while he was playing collegiately at Bowling Green.  Galley turned pro the following year and made the Kings roster immediately, logging significant ice time on the Kings' second pairing and scoring 38 Points as a rookie.

Galley was not as good as a sophomore, though he still had a respectable 22 Points in 49 Games.  Midway through the 1986-87 campaign, he was traded to Washington, but ten years later, the Kings signed him to be a veteran presence of their defensive corps.  In Galley's second run in Los Angeles, he played there for three years, hitting the 30-point mark in two of those years.  

Leaving for the Islanders in 2000, Galley amassed 159 Points in 361 Games as a King.

Jimmy Carson was the Second Overall Pick in the 1986 Draft, and he would be an All-Rookie, scoring 79 Points and finishing third in Calder voting, an impressive output for an 18-year-old.

Carson was even better at 19, finishing third in Goals with 55 and scoring 107 overall.  This was one of the best years ever by a teenager in pro hockey and one of the best in Kings history, but as good as it was, it became one of the most forgotten great seasons in Los Angeles.  Carson was traded to Edmonton as part of the deal that sent Wayne Gretzky in return, and Kings fans forgot all about Carson.

Carson could never do what he did at 19, and he slowly regressed over the following years.  He returned briefly to L.A. when he was traded back for their 1993 run to the Stanley Cup Finals, but he was not the same player he once was.  Los Angeles dealt him to Vancouver in January of 1994, and he would leave the Kings for good with 219 Points in 219 Games.
