Playing career

Platzer played major junior hockey with the London Knights and the Owen Sound Attack in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and was selected by the Oilers in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, 96th overall. He was later signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Oilers on April 5, 2015. ^[2]

Platzer made his professional debut in the American Hockey League (AHL), appearing with the Oilers affiliates, the Oklahoma City Barons and the Bakersfield Condors.

A free agent following his entry-level contract with the Oilers, Platzer left North America after four seasons in the minor leagues, and signed a contract with top tier Finnish outfit, KooKoo of the Liiga on July 10, 2019. ^[3] Establishing himself with KooKoo, Platzer enjoyed two productive seasons in the Liiga, collecting 70 points in 108 games.
