Krystofer Stanley "Krys" Kolanos (born July 27, 1981) is a Canadian-Polish former professional ice hockey centre. He played with the Phoenix Coyotes, Edmonton Oilers, Minnesota Wild, and Calgary Flames in his National Hockey League (NHL) career.

Playing career

Kolanos was selected in the first round, 19th overall, in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft by the Phoenix Coyotes from Boston College. In college, he scored the game-winning goal in overtime for Boston College in the National Championship.

Kolanos' career was mostly limited by a serious concussion after Václav Varaďa hit him from behind and knocked him unconscious in a game on January 19, 2002. Varaďa received a major penalty and game misconduct as a result of his actions.{{cite web |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nhl/recaps/2002/01/19/pho_buf/index.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020211181236/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nhl/recaps/2002/01/19/pho_buf/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 11, 2002 |title=Kolanos injured in loss | publisher =CNNSI | date = 2002-01-19 | accessdate = 2008-11-01}}

Perhaps the most memorable moment in Kolanos' NHL career occurred during his rookie season on March 31, 2002 when, despite lingering post-concussion symptoms, he scored a penalty shot goal against all-star Patrick Roy, after which the now Hall of Famer reacted emotionally and was assessed a 10-minute misconduct and a game misconduct.{{cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/roy-ejected-avalanche-fall-to-coyotes-1.302976|title=Roy ejected Avalanche fall to Coyotes | publisher =CBC Sports | date = 2002-03-31 | access-date = 2008-11-01}}

Kolanos reported to the 2007 Calgary Flames' training camp. On September 19, 2007, Kolanos was assigned to the Calgary Flames' AHL affiliate, the Quad City Flames; however he did not report to the team. He later signed with Quad City in November for the 2007-08 season.

On July 11, 2008, Kolanos signed a one-year contract with the Minnesota Wild.{{cite web|url=http://wild.nhl.com/team/app?articleid=368273&page=NewsPage&service=page|title=Wild signs forward Krys Kolanos|publisher=Minnesota Wild|date=2008-07-11|accessdate=2009-06-23|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080929085006/http://wild.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=368273|archivedate=September 29, 2008|df=mdy-all}} Kolanos was assigned to the Houston Aeros to start the 2008-09 season. Kolanos was recalled multiple times by the Wild as an injury replacement, Krys was recalled for a month in January and played in 21 games adding 6 points, before returning for the Aeros playoff run.{{cite web|url=http://wild.nhl.com/team/app?articleid=399091&page=NewsPage&service=page|title=Wild recalls Krys Kolanos from Houston|publisher=Minnesota Wild|date=2008-12-19|accessdate=2009-06-23|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081224052130/http://wild.nhl.com/team/app?articleid=399091&page=NewsPage&service=page|archivedate=December 24, 2008|df=mdy-all}}

On July 17, 2009, Kolanos signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Flyers.{{cite web |url=http://flyers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=451294|title=Flyers sign five | publisher =Philadelphia Flyers | date = 2009-07-17 | accessdate = 2010-04-14}} He was then assigned to AHL affiliate, the Adirondack Phantoms, for the 2009–10 season.

On February 1, 2012, Kolanos signed a two-year, two way contract with the Calgary Flames and was subsequently called up to the NHL the same day.
