WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

"When Boston failed to come to terms with Kotyk, the Sharks were quite willing to pick him up. He had a strong junior career with the Ottawa 67's and is ready to move up to the pro ranks. He isn't the biggest goalie but is very competitive and challenges well." (The Sports Forecaster 2001-02, p. 219)
