The end of the Poland Adventures brings us to present time, and a Polish-born player by the name of Wojtek Wolski. Born in Zabrze, Poland, he would move to Toronto in 1989 with his parents and his brother. He would play his junior hockey with the Brampton Battalion of the OHL. In 2004, he would be a first round draft pick of the Colorado Avalanche, and play his first season in 2005-06. A trade to Phoenix at the deadline in 2009-10 season would be followed by a trade midseason to the New York Rangers the following season. To date, he has scored 91 goals and 155 assists, numbers that aren't exactly becoming for an offensive force that has been in the NHL for six years in the face of an offense-friendly league since the lockout of 2004-05. This coming season, the Rangers will be looking to him for some secondary scoring behind Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik.
