102. Dustin Brown

Dustin Brown played his entire professional career with the Los Angeles Kings, debuting for the squad in 2003 and playing in SoCal until 2022.

A natural leader, the native of Ithaca, New York, was L.A.'s 12th Overall Pick in 2003, making the team quickly and was consistently one of the team's leaders in Hits, though he was not a stalwart in the Penalty Box.  Brown led by example, selflessly acting in the best interest of his team, and though he was not the most gifted scorer, he tallied 712 Points over his career.

Ascending to the captaincy of Los Angles, Brown led his team to Stanley Cup Titles in 2012 and 2014 while individually winning the 2014 Mark Messier Leadership Award.

While representing the United States, Brown participated in two Olympics (2012 & 2014), capturing Silver in the former Olympiad.
