Kopitar on making this retirement announcement on the same day as Clayton Kershaw:
“It’s perfect for me. Now I can fly under the radar”
Kopitar said he talked with Dustin Brown prior to making this decision:
“He’s always been the voice of reason. Quite frankly he was surprised I signed two more years. That was the comment that solidified my decision.”
Kopitar on on the timing of the announcement: “I just felt I want to get this out of the way now so that I’m not a distraction for the team.”
LA Kings captain Anze Kopitar announced that the 2025-26 season, his 20th year playing, will be his final season in the National Hockey League.
The LA Kings will be making a “major announcement” tomorrow afternoon at 3:30pm.

“He’s done a great job since Kuemper’s been out carrying the load. That’s a lot of pucks a lot of stress and he did a great job.”
Joel Edmundson on the play of Warren Foegele and Tanner Jeannot, “Nothing too flashy. They work their ass off every shift. Every team needs guys like that.”
Just a few games ago fans were booing the Kings off the ice, tonight ‘Go Kings Go’ chants rained down as we reached the final buzzer.
The team deserved it for their effort tonight.
