Playing career

Oleksuk attended the University of Minnesota Duluth where he played four seasons (2008-2012) of NCAA college hockey with the Minnesota–Duluth Bulldogs, scoring 45 goals and 70 assists for 155 points, and earning 75 penalty minutes, in 133 games played.

On March 30, 2012, the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League signed Oleksuk as an unrestricted free agent to an entry level contract,[1] and he was assigned to play the 2012–13 season with the Worcester Sharks of the American Hockey League.[2]

After three seasons within the Sharks organization, Oleksuk left as a free agent to sign a one-year AHL contract with the Hartford Wolf Pack, an affiliate of the New York Rangers on September 2, 2015.[3] In the 2015–16 season with the Wolf Pack, Oleksuk appeared in 67 games recording 7 goals and 22 points in securing a regular role amongst the checking line.

As a free agent in the following off-season, Oleksuk opted to pursue a European career, agreeing to a one-year contract with Italian based HCB South Tyrol, who compete in the Austrian EBEL on July 28, 2016.[4]

gollark: Someone NOT on the server making and compiling the video?
gollark: A good video could be made on this but it might be better with an outside perspective.
gollark: Anyway, to summarise the rest of it, as I'm sure you've seen, eventually the reshuffling thing began actually happening in earnest, and today another thing happened (I forgot what), various people left, more of them joined new esolangs without leaving, and palaiologos pushed ahead with stricter rule updates in a rather authoritarian way.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Anyway, at some point palaiologos seems to have decided that the server needed a substantial overhaul.(For video purposes you should of course find screenshots of all this stuff; I think much of it was in staff chat though)
