It has to be a good feeling for any guy who ends up playing for a team he cheered for as a kid. Former LA Kings forward, Adam Deadmarsh, happens to be one of those guys.

Deadmarsh grew up in Canada, where he was a fan of the Edmonton Oilers and his favorite player, Wayne Gretzky. When Gretzky was traded to Los Angeles in 1988, Deadmarsh’s allegiance followed him.

“Growing up I was a Gretzky fan, and when he went to the Kings, that became my new team because of him,” says Deadmarsh, who was 13 at the time of The Trade.
