Jaroslav Modry was traded to Los Angeles late in the 1995/96 season, which was the third team in his young career.

As he did with his previous squads (New Jersey and Ottawa), Modry bounced back and forth between the parent club and the minors, but in 2000, the Czech Defenseman found his game.  Modry had a breakout 2001-02 Season, scoring 42 Points and earning a trip to the All-Star Game.  He had two more good years for the Kings, producing 38 and 32 Points, respectively, before signing with Atlanta as a Free Agent.

Modry would overall accrue 238 Points as a King.
