Days after Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers announced his impending retirement, another L.A. sports icon has announced that he, too, will soon retire.
Los Angeles Kings Center Anze Kopitar announced that he will be retiring after the 2025-26 season. The team captain has played his entire career with the Kings, where he led them to two Stanley Cup Championships and individually won three Lady Byng Trophies, two Frank J. Selke Trophies, and the coveted Mark Messier Leadership Award. Going into this season, Kopitar has 1,278 Points in 1,454 Games.
If Kopitar maintains this pledge to retire, he will be eligible for the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2029 and should be considered a lock for the first ballot.
We here at notinhalloffame.com will gladly enjoy one more season of Anze Kopitar and wish him an excellent 2025/26 campaign.
