History
2008-09: Kozun erupted for 40 goals and 108 points in 72 games in his second full season with Calgary of the WHL, good for second overall in scoring. Was named WHL Player of the Month for the month of December where he would record 19 points in 12 games. A model of consistency, Kozun would score more than three points in a game only three times all season despite racking up 108 points.
2009-10: Kozun capped a prolific junior year thus far by posting 32 goals and 75 assists in only 65 regular season games. He also managed 8 goals and 22 assists in 23 playoff matches. He also posted 3 goals and 4 assists for Canada in the U20 tournament. When he was finished with his season, Kozun was inked to an entry-level deal.
2010-11: Kozun skated in 73 of 80 games for the AHL's Manchester Monarchs in his first pro season and was tied for third on the team with 23 goals. He added 25 assists and was +4 with 48 PMs as the Monarch's finished second in the Atlantic Division. In the Monarchs' seven-game, first-round playoff series with eventual Calder Cup champion Binghamton he scored 1 goal with 3 assists and was +2 with 2 PMs.
Talent Analysis
Small and elusive with great skating skills. Kozun's competitiveness and offensive skills keep him on the ice despite large and more physical competition.
Future
Kozun will have to prove his smallish frame can withstand the rigors of the professional game. Expect him to start the 2010-11 season in the AHL, likely in a second or third-line role.
