AHL and ECHL
Born in Willingdon, Alberta, Rudkowsky spent most of his career in the ECHL. He backstopped the Reading Royals to a career high 46 games played in 2003-04 and led the Royals to the Kelly Cup semi-finals that season. On December 31, 2005, Rudkowsky was named starting goaltender for the American Conference in the 14th annual ECHL All-Star Game[1]
Rudkowsky was signed to a professional tryout contract (PTO) by the Grand Rapids Griffins on October 26, 2007.[2] On October 28, he would come in relief for starting goaltender Adam Berkhoel and stop 8 of 9 shots that night. The Griffins would lose that game 7-1. On February 15, 2008, he was signed again to a PTO[3] by Grand Rapids and made a brief appearance (3m 21sec) against the Milwaukee Admirals.[4]
Other leagues
It was announced on 27 August 2009 that Rudkowsky signed a contract to play for the Edinburgh Capitals in the British Elite Ice Hockey League for the 09/10 Season.[5] This was the first time Rudkowsky played for a team outside North America.
Rudkowsky also briefly played for the Bentley Generals in amateur Allan Cup play during the 2008-09 season and was first star of the final game of the 2008-09 Allan Cup Finals.[6]
