Robitaille provided his own voice for the role. According to co-creator Dan Povenmire , Robitaille was a natural choice for a hockey-themed episode because of his legendary status in the sport and his previous comedic radio appearances.
Robitaille is not an isolated case. Phineas and Ferb has a rich history of inserting real-life athletes in blink-and-you’ll-miss-it roles:
Yes, Luc Robitaille is canonically part of the Phineas and Ferb universe. And he’s a very good rower.
Baljeet, terrified of the bad luck associated with failing this task, hires Phineas and Ferb to help him protect the statue. Phineas decides that the best way to transport the statue safely across town to the museum is by utilizing the coolness of the local roller derby scene.
At first glance, Hockey Hall of Famer Luc Robitaille and the zany, inventive world of Phineas and Ferb seem like an odd pairing. One is a record-setting left winger who spent the bulk of his career with the Los Angeles Kings; the other is a stepbrother duo building roller coasters and fighting platypus-led villainy. Yet, their connection is a perfect example of the show’s deep bench of quirky, unexpected guest stars.
