Since then, he has appeared in 208 career games, making stops with Sudbury, the Kingston Frontenacs and the Kitchener Rangers. In that time, he has recorded 93 regular-season points and added eight points in the playoffs. Last season Chromiak was selected to represent Slovakia at the World Junior Championship in Ottawa.
This season, Chromiak has 23 points (6G, 17A) in 38 games played with the Kitchener Rangers. Chromoiak will wear the number 33 for the IceDogs.
