Playing career

On 24 June 2011, Olesz was traded by the Florida Panthers to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for defenceman Brian Campbell. [1] On 17 November 2011, Olesz was assigned by the Blackhawks to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs, after clearing waivers. [2]

On 28 June 2013, Olesz became an unrestricted free agent after the Blackhawks used one of their compliance buyouts on the remainder of his contract. [3] Olesz quickly signed a one-year contract as a free agent with the New Jersey Devils on 5 July 2013. [4] Olesz made his Devils debut to begin the 2013–14 season, but sparingly played ten games and registering only two assists before he was reassigned to their AHL affiliate, the Albany Devils. After five games in the AHL, Olesz was placed on unconditional waivers by the Devils with the intention to mutually terminate his contract. [5] On 21 November, Olesz left North America and signed for the remainder of the season with the Swiss club SC Bern of the National League A. [6]
