VIDEO: Kings Anze Kopitar paving the way for Slovenian hockey

The Hockey News, 2011-12-21

In a league dominated by North Americans, it was a monumental moment in hockey history when the Los Angeles Kings selected a young Slovenian with their first pick in 2005. Anze Kopitar wasn’t an unknown commodity heading into the draft, but even the Kings couldn’t have predicted how spectacularly he has developed.

In 426 games, Kopitar has amassed 148 goals and 388 points. It’s no wonder he’s earned the Bill Libby Memorial Award as the Kings MVP three times since joining the team in 2006.

THNTV’s Danielle Emanuele takes an in-depth look at Kopitar’s road to the NHL.
