Krystofer Kolanos is a professional ice hockey player. He was selected in the first round (19th overall) in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft by the Phoenix Coyotes from Boston College.

Kolanos' career has been limited by a serious concussion after Vaclav Varada hit him from behind and knocked him unconscious in a game on January 19, 2002. Varada received a major penalty and game misconduct as a result of his actions. [1]

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 [2].

Kolanos reported to the 2007 Calgary Flames' training camp. On September 19, 2007 Kolanos was assigned to the Calgary Flames' American Hockey League affiliate Quad City Flames, however he did not report to the team. He later signed with the Quad Cities in November, 2007.

In college, he scored the game-winning goal in overtime for Boston College in the National Championship
