Ryan-Olsen

4th year center Ryan Olsen(9) leaves Utah Grizzlies just past the half way mark to join Orli Znojmo of EBEL for the remainder of 2017/2018.

He was putting up career high stats in the ECHL (8-17-25) through 34 games after spending his first three campaigns under an entry level deal with Winnipeg Jets.

He was originally a 6th round pick in the 2012 draft (#160 overall).

The 6’1″ 187 lbs. forward never exactly put up big numbers by any means with their AHL affiliates, then failed to receive a qualifying offer to stay.

He was much more successful during his final two seasons of junior hockey in the WHL, where he was close to a point-per-game performer with an outstanding +54 rating.

The 23-year old is very likely to find better riches overseas.
