Wojtek Wolski is a Polish-Canadian left winger on the Phoenix Coyotes.

Wolski was drafted by Colorado in 2004, and played two more seasons with the Brampton Battalion in the OHL, where he holds 13 offensive franchise records. He joined the Avs for 9 games in 2006, and played 76 games the following year, recording 22 goals and 50 points. He has recently become well-known for his tremendous skill in the shootout. Wolski put up 40 or more points in each of the next two seasons after scoring 50, and was having another solid season in 2009-10 when he was traded to Phoenix, despite having 17 goals and 47 points in just 62 games. Despite his offensive abilities, Wolski's skill set was a bit different than the style of hockey that the Avs had adopted over the course of the season, and he ended up being a perfect fit in Phoenix. He scored 18 points in the last 18 games of the year and helped the Coyotes push the Detroit Red Wings to seven games in their first round playoff series.
