Olaf Kölzig

Olaf Kölzig (born April 6, 1970) is a retired German professional ice hockey goaltender and associate goalie coach for the Washington Capitals. With the exception of 8 games with the Tampa Bay Lightning, he played his entire 14 year career with the Capitals. Though Kölzig was born in South Africa, he grew up in several cities across Canada and his family moved to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia when he was a teenager. Kölzig never applied for Canadian citizenship, which, combined with his German parentage and German passport, allowed him to represent Germany internationally.
