David Kolomatis (born February 25, 1989) is a retired American professional ice hockey player who last played for the Manchester Monarchs in the ECHL. He was originally drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the fifth round, 126th overall, of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

After playing four seasons with the Manchester Monarchs, the AHL affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings, Kolomatis departed as a free agent. They signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Washington Capitals on July 5, 2013.[1] During his lone season with the Capitals organization in 2013–14, he was assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears, where he tallied 30 points over 61 games.

On July 25, 2014, Kolomatis signed a one-year deal as a free agent to play overseas with Tappara in Finland's Liiga.[2] During the 2014–15 season, his only year abroad, he recorded 1 goal and totaled 12 points over 45 games.

The next season, Kolomatis rejoined the Los Angeles Kings organization by signing a one-year contract on October 2, 2015, with their newly reestablished ECHL affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs.[3] He served as team captain during the 2015–16 campaign, recording 17 points in 35 games before being loaned to the AHL's Toronto Marlies. He later signed on to remain with the Marlies for the rest of the season, playing in 23 games.

During the off-season, Kolomatis decided to continue his tenure with Manchester, opting to return for a sixth consecutive season with the team. On August 17, 2016, he formalized this decision by signing a new one-year contract, demonstrating his commitment to the organization and his desire to contribute further to the Monarchs' success.[4]
