LOS ANGELES (CP) - The Los Angeles Kings re-signed veteran forward Luc Robitaille on Monday and also announced they're reducing their season-ticket prices for the upcoming season.
Robitaille signed a one-year contract with the Kings. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Robitaille, 39, holds the NHL record among left-wingers for goals (653) and points (1,370). Originally drafted by Los Angeles in the ninth round (171st overall) in 1984, Robitaille ranks second in club history in games played (1,012), goals (542) and points (1,130) and fourth in assists (588).
"We have always considered Luc Robitaille to be a King at heart," general manger Dave Taylor said in a statement. "It has always been our intention for Luc to retire as a King.
"We are pleased that Luc has re-signed with the Kings, as are the fans I am sure. We look forward to him continuing to represent the Kings in a first-class manner."
It will also cost Kings fans less to watch Robitaille and his teammates this season.
Season-ticket packages are being reduced five per cent while individual game ticket prices will remain unchanged.
The Kings are expanding the Dave Taylor Die-Hard Section, which consists of $10 US season tickets, from 500 to 1,000 seats and offering fans a free pre-season game Sept. 17 versus Anaheim at the Staples Centre.
"We have the most passionate and loyal fans in the National Hockey League and our goal is to continue to provide them with affordable ticket prices," said Kings president Tim Leiweke.
