Dustin James Brown (born November 4, 1984 in Ithaca , New York ) is an American ice hockey player . Since 2003 he has played for the Los Angeles Kings in the National Hockey League on the position of right winger and won the Stanley Cup with the team in 2012 and 2014 . He also led the team as captain from 2008 to 2016 and holds the franchise record for most games played. With the US national team , he won the silver medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics .

Career

The 1.83 m tall winger first played from 1998 to 2000 in the US state of New York for the high school team of the Ithaca High Little Red , in the high school league system of the United States. During the 1999/2000 season, the right-shooter was also active for the Syracuse Stars . Brown then spent three seasons in the Canadian Junior League Ontario Hockey League , where he went on the ice for the Guelph Storm . Immediately after this time, the attacker was selected in the first round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft in 13th position by the Los Angeles Kings .

Los Angeles Kings (since 2003)

The right-shooter was used by the Kings for the first time in the 2003/04 season , the attacker scored his first NHL goal on October 9, 2003 against the Detroit Red Wings . His debut season in the Kings jersey was limited to a total of 31 NHL appearances, however, as an ankle injury put him out of action early in the season. Brown spent the lockout in the 2004/05 season with the Manchester Monarchs in the American Hockey League and then returned to the Kings squad. In 2007 he signed a six-year contract there that should bring him about 19 million US dollars .

For the 2008/09 season , the attacker was appointed team captain of the Los Angeles Kings, replacing Rob Blake , who had migrated to the San Jose Sharks, in this role. At the same time, Brown was the first US-American in the history of the Kings to take over the captaincy and at this point in time at the age of 23 years the youngest in the team's history. Nevertheless, as in previous years, the Kings missed the play-offs for the Stanley Cup . In the 2009/10 season , the Los Angeles Kings finished sixth in the Western Conference , qualifying for the play-offs for the first time since 2002. There the team lost in the first round to the Vancouver Canucks in the best-of-seven series with 2-4 games. In the following season, the Kings were eliminated in the first play-off round after six games, this time the team lost to the San Jose Sharks.

Brown with the Stanley Cup (2012)

In the 2011/12 season Brown reached the playoff again with eighth place in the regular season and met the winner of the Presidents' Trophy , the Vancouver Canucks , in the conference quarterfinals . The Kings advanced to a big playoff surprise by beating them 4-1 in the series and advancing to the Stanley Cup finals. The team captain was able to win his first Clarence S. Campbell Bowl with his team . But even the prestigious Stanley Cup was not denied to him after he drove his team to the first title in club history in the sixth final game.

The US-American spent his lockout in the NHL during the 2012/13 season with the ZSC Lions in the Swiss National League A and scored 13 points in 16 games. After the end of the player strike, he returned to the Kings and ended the season with 18 hits and 11 assists. In July 2013, Brown extended his Los Angeles contract for eight years for a total reported salary of $ 47 million. In the subsequent 2013/14 season , the attacker recorded a year with less offensive play and only scored 27 points. In the playoffs he was able to improve his performance, but was partially criticized when his team won the Stanley Cup again as part of his role as team captain. Still, following the season, Brown received the Mark Messier Leadership Award for his leadership skills and "[...] in recognition of his dedication and commitment to charities in his community."

After the 2015/16 season he was relieved of his captaincy and Anže Kopitar was appointed as his successor. In December 2017, he played his 1,000th regular season game in the NHL. Towards the end of the 2018/19 season, he broke the franchise record for most games played in the history of the Kings, overtaking Dave Taylor in the process .

International

Brown represented his home country at both junior and senior levels. As a junior player, the right-handed shooter completed the U20 Junior World Championships in 2002 and 2003 , in which the offensive player narrowly missed a medal win. The striker was also nominated for the U20 World Junior Championship in 2004 , but was not fit for action due to an injury. For the senior selection of the US national team , Brown was for the first time in the 2004 World Cup in the contest for the world title and finally secured the bronze medal with a victory against the Slovak selection in the game for third place.

Two years later, the striker finished the 2006 World Cup with five goals and two assists in seven games as the best point collector for the Americans, but lost to future world champions Sweden in the quarter-finals . For the 2009 World Cup , the now 24-year-old right-handed shooter led his home country as team captain in the world championships. At the 2010 Winter Olympics , Brown ran on the ice as one of four assistant captains of the Americans and won the silver medal with the team. In the course of the tournament, however, he remained pointless in all six games and ended the competition with a balanced plus / minus balance.
