Wojciech "Wojtek" Wolski (Polish pronunciation: [ˈvɔjtɛk ˈvɔlski]; born February 24, 1986) is a Polish-Canadian professional ice hockey left winger currently playing for Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). In the NHL, he has played for the Colorado Avalanche, Phoenix Coyotes, New York Rangers, Florida Panthers, and the Washington Capitals. During the 2012 NHL lockout, he played for Ciarko PBS Bank KH Sanok in the PHL, the top-tier hockey league in Poland. While he holds dual citizenship, Wolski is a product of the Canadian training system and is currently ineligible to represent Poland internationally. Wolski has won the Gagarin Cup in 2016 with Metallurg.
Wolski was drafted in the first round, 21st overall in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft by the Colorado Avalanche. It was originally believed that he would be the 10th-15th pick, but some teams passed on him because he was charged with assault causing bodily harm by Toronto police shortly before the draft. Wolski allegedly beat and hospitalized another young man his age at a birthday party. The case was dismissed when it was learned that Wolski was defending his girlfriend, who had been pushed off a porch.
