Kyle Brodziak (b. May 25, 1984 in St. Paul, Alberta) is a professional ice hockey centre who is in the Edmonton Oilers system. He was called up by the Oilers on March 5, 2007, but has spent most of the 2006-2007 season with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL.
Brodziak was selected by the Oilers in the 7th round (214th overall) of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. After completing his junior career with the Moose Jaw Warriors of the WHL, he made his professional debut with the Edmonton Road Runners of the AHL in 2004-05. Starting the 2005-06 season with the Iowa Stars of the AHL, he was recalled to the big club almost immediately due to an injury to Mike Peca. He played 5 games during his initial stint with the Oilers before being reassigned to the minor leagues October 24, 2005. He was recalled to the Oilers twice more, playing 10 games in all.
Given that only one-third of all NHL draft picks ever make the NHL, and the success rate for late-round draft picks is even more dismal, Brodziak has overcome some significant odds to make the Oilers even in a part-time capacity.
