During his first year of junior hockey in 2013–14, Laczynski was cut by the Chicago Steel of the United States Hockey League (USHL). He returned to the team the next season for an impressive year, recording 18 goals and 28 assists with the Steel. [3]

He received surgery for the injury on April 26, with an expected recovery time of 16 weeks.
