[edit] Playing career
Kaberle was drafted 76th overall in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft by the Kings.
In the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals, Kaberle scored a goal in the second period of Game 7 against the Edmonton Oilers, which would turn out to be the game and Stanley Cup winning goal. It would mark Kaberle's first Stanley Cup win.
During the off-season before the 2006-07 season, Kaberle suffered a shoulder injury, and was placed on the injured reserve on September 13, 2006. He was removed from the injured reserve on February 6, 2007, and scored the game winner that same night.
Kaberle was declared a free agent after the Hurricanes bought out his final year of his contract on July 28, 2009. Afterwards, Kaberle returned to the Czech Republic.
