Marty McSORLEY played in the National Hockey League from 1983 until 2000. A versatile player, he was able to play both the forward and defense positions. He is also a former head coach of the Springfield Falcons of the American Hockey League (2002-04). In addition to his hockey career, he has also worked as an actor, appearing in several film and television roles.
In 1993 the L.A. Kings reached the Stanley Cup Finals against the Montreal Canadiens. Some suggested that McSORLEY was the second-most dominant King after Gretzky in the playoffs. McSORLEY would remain with the Kings until an August 1993 trade sent him to Pittsburgh. With the Kings, McSORLEY assisted on Wayne Gretzky's marker which broke Gordie Howe's all-time goal-scoring record.
