Guide Note

Canadian professional hockey player Dwayne Roloson is a goalie for the Edmonton Oilers in the National Hockey League.

Roloson signed as a free agent with the Calgary Flames in 1994 and spent the next two seasons playing for the Flames' American Hockey League affiliate, the St. John Flames. He shared net minding duties with fellow Flames goaltender Trevor Kidd during the 1996-1997 and 1997-1998 seasons before signing for two years with the Buffalo Sabres in 1998 to play backup to Dominik Hasek.

He was picked up by the Columbus Blue Jackets during the 2000 NHL Expansion Draft, but opted to sign with the Worcester IceCats of the American Hockey League. In the summer of 2001, Roloson signed with the Minnesota Wild, with whom he would play record highs of 45, 50 and 48 games respectively over the next three seasons and saw his first playoff action in 2003.
