## Resource

Anze Kopitar, LA Kings legend and two-decade captain, is savoring retirement like never before—prioritizing his kids’ hockey and figure skating over the NHL grind. He even left Zdeno Chara’s farewell event early to catch a family commitment, proving his new chapter is all about home. After smashing franchise records, winning two Cups, and leading the Kings with grace, Kopitar now enjoys the game from the sidelines, admitting he didn’t feel “fresh” on ice at the tribute—proof it’s truly time to hang up skates. The Kings will honor him big-time in February 2027 with a statue and jersey retirement, but for now, Kopitar’s joy is found in watching his kids play.
