Kujawinski was originally drafted by the Devils in the third-round of the 2013 NHL entry draft. Given the nickname by Battalion Head Coach Stan Butler, Special K will be remembered for not one, but two overtime playoff goals for the Troops this past post-season.

 

The Iroquois Falls native had 21 goals with the North Bay Battalion, after they acquired him in a trade with Kingston and put up 59 points in the regular season spending 34 games with the Troops after 27 with Kingston.
