Editing Luc Robitaille (section)

==Junior hockey career==
Robitaille was drafted by the [[Los Angeles Kings]] in the ninth round, 171st overall, of the [[1984 NHL Entry Draft]]. Many hockey experts expected Robitaille to be drafted late in the draft due to his poor skating ability.<ref>Buker, Rick.  ''Total Penguins.''  Chicago: Triumph Books, 2010, page 340.</ref> Robitaille himself has stated he had only had contact with one NHL team during his junior career, the Kings. He happened to be attending the 1984 draft (in the stands) and later introduced himself to first-year Kings general manager [[Rogie Vachon]].

Robitaille and former teammate [[Dave Taylor (ice hockey)|Dave Taylor]] are the lowest NHL draft picks to have recorded 1,000 career points. During the 1984 NHL Entry Draft, the Kings drafted future [[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum|Baseball Hall-of-Famer]] [[Tom Glavine]] in the fourth round, over 100 spots before Robitaille.

Robitaille played [[junior hockey]] for the [[Gatineau Olympiques|Hull Olympiques]] of the [[Quebec Major Junior Hockey League]] (QMJHL). In three seasons with the Olympiques from [[1983–84 QMJHL season|1983]] to [[1985–86 QMJHL season|1986]], Robitaille amassed 155 [[goal (ice hockey)|goal]]s and 269 [[assist (ice hockey)|assist]]s for 424 points in only 197 games,<ref name="DB"/> including winning the [[CHL Player of the Year]] with 191 points in 1985–86. In his honour, the QMJHL later created the [[Luc Robitaille Trophy]], awarded to the team which scores the most goals each season.
