Olaf Kolzig the 14 year veteran goaltender today decided to call it a career.

Some of Kolzig's acomplishments were being nominated to the all star game twice,as well as being named  the Vezina winner in 2000. Kolzig also ranks 21st all time for wins with 303. But Kolzig's biggest acomplishment on the ice was being named the winner of the King Clancy memorial trophy in 2006.  

Kolzig said today ,""I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to play the game of hockey at the NHL level for many seasons and I am grateful for everything the game has given me," "I would like to thank my family, all my teammates and the fans for making my time in the NHL so special."

What I will always remember about Kolzig are two things, a very fierce competitior, and a very passionate person who puts in double time for his charity he founded in honor of his son named the Carson Kolzig foundation, as well as being a member of athletes against autism.

Olaf lived up to his billing of "zilla" both on and off the ice. The hockey world will miss a true humanitarian like Olaf.
