History
Kozek played his junior hockey with South Surrey of the BCHL. He played in 2004-05 BCHL All-Star game, and put up huge numbers last year with 48 goals and 97 points in 60 games with the Eagles.
2006-07: Typically NCAA prospects show a jump in production in their sophomore year, but it didn't materialize for Kozek. The 21-year-old had just five goals and six assists in 41 games for North Dakota last year, a scoring rate slightly down from 2005-06. The 5'11, 185-pounder played often on a checking line, which is not his strength, but his play didn't earn him scoring line minutes.
Talent Analysis
Kozek has some talent, but his game is very uneven. He has good velocity on his shot, but doesn’t protect the puck well and isn’t fast. Of the three second rounders the Thrashers had in 2005 (including Pavelec and Denny), Kozek is the furthest behind in development. He'll need to put his game together in a hurry to remain a viable prospect.
