Professional career
Toronto Argonauts
Kolankowski was drafted by the Toronto Argonauts in the sixth round, 49th overall, in the 2016 CFL Draft and signed with the club on May 19, 2016.[1] He was released following 2016 training camp and returned to York for his final year of eligibility. He re-signed with the Argonauts on December 7, 2016.[2] He dressed for six regular season games as a back-up offensive lineman as well as both post-season games for the 2017 Toronto Argonauts. He won his first Grey Cup with the Argos in the 105th Grey Cup game. After two seasons, he was released by the Argonauts on April 23, 2019.[3]
Winnipeg Blue Bombers
After sitting out the 2019 season, Kolankowski signed as a free agent with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on February 6, 2020.[4] However, he also did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the 2020 CFL season. He dressed in the last two regular season games as a backup lineman during the 2021 season after spending most of the season on the practice roster.[5] He also dressed in the 108th Grey Cup as the Blue Bombers defeated the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Kolankowski won his second Grey Cup championship.
