Well, it's #ninetiesfriday and I'm going in a different direction then my usual #90sfriday posts.
We're deep into summer so why not do a hockey-coin mashup post!?
This is a Luc Robitaille commemorative coin given away at a game on Feb 11, 1999. It's obviously clad (not silver) as it was given away to all the fans at the game xD
Luc is the highest scoring left-winger in NHL history with 668 goals! Here's his career stats.
1431 games played!?! That is an amazing amount of games to play in a career, in fact that's 33rd most games played on the NHL all-time games played list.
He got traded from the Kings to the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1994, then in 1995 he was traded to the NY Rangers, where he played for two years before being traded back to the LA Kings. After four more seasons with the Kings he was traded to the Detroit Red Wings in 2001, where he won a Stanley Cup.
He finished his career with the Kings and is currently the President of the team.
The '98-'99 season was the Kings last season playing at the Fabulous Forum, in Inglewood, CA. The next year they moved to a brand new stadium downtown LA that is now known as Crypto.com Arena ;)
Here is a list of the coins they gave out that year.
Some top-quality players on that list right there, wow!
