TULSA, Okla. —The Tulsa Oilers, ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League’s Anaheim Ducks and the American Hockey League’s San Diego Gulls, announced the signing of veteran forward Ryan Olsen.
Olsen, 29, joins Tulsa after recording 15 points (9g-6a) in 39 games with the DEL's Frankfurt Lions last season.
Not a stranger to Tulsa, the Delta, British Columbia native recorded one assist in three games with the Oilers on assignment from the Winnipeg Jets in 2016-17. He has totaled 65 points (35g-30a) in 81 career regular-season ECHL games and won the Kelly Cup with Colorado during the 2017-18 season.
The majority of Olsen’s career has been spent in the AHL, compiling 83 points (42g-41a) and 307 penalty minutes in 324 career games, split among St. John’s, Manitoba, San Antonio and Stockton.
In addition to his AHL, ECHL and DEL totals, Olsen averaged more than a point-per-game with Kassel in Germany’s second division in 2020-21, compiling 48 points (26g-22a) in 44 regular-season games to lead the league. Olsen added 15 points (6g-9a) in 10 postseason contests with the Huskies before falling in the finals to Bietigheim in game five of a best-of-five series.
Prior to turning pro, Olsen amassed 166 points (84g-82a) in 275 career games in the Western Hockey League with Saskatoon and Kelowna.
