"Could be a make-or-break season for this butterfly-style goaltender. With Brent Johnson most likely in St. Louis this year, Rudkowsky will get the chance to be the No. 1 man in Worcester. Must prove he can play there before thinking of the big show." (The Sports Forecaster 2000-01, p. 161)

"'Cody the Goalie' has played fewer games than veteran Dwayne Roloson, but his career is on the upswing in his second pro season. In 25 games, he was 13-8-3, with a 2.68 goals-against average. His .915 save percentage put him among AHL leaders. Rudkowsky will likely carry the load as Worcester's No. 1 man next season." (Dave Luecking, The Hockey News Future Watch 2001)

"Named the CHL Goaltender of the Year in 1998-99, Rudkowsky followed it up with a mediocre first season in pro. He has responded by bringing his game up a level this past season and, with Roloson moving on, will be the man to carry the load on the farm this season." (The Sports Forecaster 2001-02, p. 167)

"The other IceCats goaltender, Cody Rudkowsky, has reached the make-or-break point of his professional career. Rudkowsky has desirable size, but his play at the AHL has been inconsistent. (The Sporting News Online, October 2, 2001)

• Cody made his National Hockey League debut, and registered his first League victory, on Thursday, October 24, 2002, when his St. Louis Blues defeated the hometown Edmonton Oilers, 2-1. Starter Curtis Sanford suffered an ankle injury midway through the second period, with the Blues down, 1-0. Rudkowsky came in, and stopped all ten shots he faced as St. Louis recovered for the win. "I saw the ref talking to Curtis and it looked like they were pointing at his pad or his skate," Rudkowsky said. "I thought maybe he lost an edge and, all of a sudden, the ref comes up to me and says, 'You gotta go, you gotta get in there.'" "I was always an Oiler fan growing up - Grant Fuhr, Andy Moog, Bill Ranford, Curtis Joseph...for me, just growing up an hour away from this building, it's awesome just to get out there on the Coliseum ice and play."
