Adam Dolinski

I'm fairly certain that Adam Dolinski (1-1-1965) is a duplicate of Adam Golinski (10-2-1966).

Elite Prospects and Hockey DB both have a player record for Dolinski, but his only stats listed are for the 1985 World Juniors and strangely are identical to Golinski's in the same tournament (7-0-0-0 & 6 PIM). Also Golinski had an extensive career in Poland, while there is no further trace of Dolinski anywhere.

Doesn't look like it. I dug out an old IIHF record book and they have Dolinski and Golinski as separate players, with a birthdate of January 18, 1966 for Dolinski; they also have Golinski credited with a goal in the tournament so the stat lines are slightly different.

SIHR's database also has them with different uniform numbers, heights, weights, and club teams (Naprzód Janów for Dolinski, Polonia Bytom for Golinski.)

On the other hand, the Polish team in the 1985 WJC seems to be credited with 7 GP too many. Suspicious; I'd particularly like to see the boxscores of Poland's games in that tournament to see if there are separate penalty entries for Dolinski and Golinski. But not really enough evidence to remove Dolinski right now.

I've managed to find him on Facebook, knowing he played in Katowice helped narrow it down .
