From Czechoslovakia, Robert Lang had a very good career in the National Hockey League although it took him some time to really find his groove. In his late 20’s, Lang came into his own when he was with the Pittsburgh Penguins and in his third season there at age 30, he had an 80 Point Season. Lang would later join Washington where he performed well and at one point three quarters into the 2003/04 season, he was the leading scorer, and then he was traded to the Detroit Red Wings, which marked the first time that the leading scorer was ever traded during the season. Lang would be injured shortly thereafter, but he would still finish the season ninth in Assists and Points. Lang would play for Detroit another two seasons and would finish his career with a season each in Chicago, Montreal and Phoenix.

Internationally, Lang was a very successful player where for Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic he won the Olympic Gold, World Championship Gold and Bronzes in both tournaments making him one of the most successful players ever in that spectrum.
