As a long time hockey fan Mr. Smith thank you for sharing your story. Its remarkable how you over came obstacles. God Bless You,your story is inspiring.
Making the show was a dream of mine as a child. I did have some talent but it wasn't in my cards. At 48 i still think of it, you made the show. Thats all that matters. Be very proud of that and carry on. I still envy anyone. Who played even one shift. Let alone several seasons. I can only imagine lining up beside some of the greats. Back when hockey was still hockey.
Thank you for this.I have been sober for 21 years. I thank GOD everyday I was addicted to OxyContin.I was doing 500 MG A DAY.And when I had no more I was very sick. I started drinking hard stuff to dull my withdrawals.After years of killing myself my family had an intervention. I have been sober 21 years. I lost my daughter 7 years ago. She thought she was taking a Percocet. It was fentanyl. Worst day of my life.I wanted to find the person who gave it to my daughter and do whatever.Thank god I did not. Doug good luck the,rest of your life and Merry XMAS.
Hey Doug! So great to see and hear you after 30 years! I was a fan and a friend in LA. We played paddle tennis at Venice Beach and ping pong at my place and watched a Laker game at yours with your Laker’s Girl girlfriend. Great Story and happy for you. I’ll share this with Pete D. Rick Tharp
Hey Pete. Great to hear from you and thanks for touching base. Doug@dougsmithperformance.com is my email address for communication. Make it a great day!!
I will never forget the night of April 10, 1982. I was the only fan of the LA Kings in the Province of Quebec! It was 1 am in Montreal and when Evans scored, my parents thought i was having a seizure!! Good times!!
I grew up on the shores too, and played river hockey. Im a no contact game of friends a guy ran me into the boards, he was elite player operating on instinct i think. Not seriously injured but the memory of that violence is my last memory of hockey. Still a fan but its brutal game.
A little Trivia for you - At the same time in & in the same city (Los Angeles) there were 2 guys named Doug Smith playing for major professional sports teams representing the city. This Doug played for the Kings, and the other Doug Smith was the Center for the LA Rams. This is quite rare. Only two other times in recent history. Seattle had 2 Ken Griffey's playing for the same baseball team (Seattle Mariners), they were father and son. The city of Charlotte N.C. had a Steve Smith on their basketball team (Bobcats) and their NFL team (Panthers) in the same year.

Inspiring... I’m glad I stumbled upon this.
Thank you.
This is a great video Doug. You were a great player. In today’s game you would have been a force. Thanks for the great message and all the best.
