Brown was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings, 13th overall, in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. After making the Kings as an 18-year old, Brown went on to have a very successful NHL career. Brown is a two-time Stanley Cup Winner (2012, 2014), appeared on the world stage six times, and was awarded the Mark Messier Leadership Award in 2014.
A leader in every sense of the word, Dustin officially retired from the NHL in April of 2022 at the conclusion of his 18th season with the Kings. He played in a Kings franchise record 1,296 games, served as the captain for eight season. His number was officially retired by the Los Angeles Kings in February 2023, and a statue was unveiled in his honour outside of the arena. He was officially inducted in the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame later that year.
The first 1000 fans to enter gate 6 will receive a replica mini banner celebrating Dustin Brown. The game will be the hockey club's most recent homecoming game for Storm alumni and their families.
