Playing career
Junior
Oleksiak attended Northeastern University for one year and had 13 points on 4 goals and 9 assists and team-best +13 plus/minus. After his freshman season with the Northeastern Huskies, Oleksiak decided to return to the Canadian Hockey League for further development, and on July 25, 2011 the Saginaw Spirit announced that they had signed Oleksiak to an Ontario Hockey League contract, and on October 6, 2011, it was announced that Oleksiak had signed a three-year entry level contract with the National Hockey League's Dallas Stars.[1][2] With the Spirit out of contention during the 2011–12 season, Oleksiak was traded to the title contending Niagara IceDogs on January 10, 2012.[3]
Professional
On January 30, 2013, the Dallas Stars called up Oleksiak from the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League.[4] Oleksiak assisted Brenden Morrow for his first NHL point on February 13 vs. Calgary Flames.
On October 28, 2014, Oleksiak scored his first career NHL goal against the St. Louis Blues in a 4–3 loss. He'd finish the season with 8 points in 36 games.
Oleksiak's first full season in the NHL with Dallas was the 2016–17 season. While waiver eligible, healthy scratches and a hand injury limited Oleksiak to just 41 games.[5] On August 4, 2017, the Stars re-signed Oleksiak to a one-year, $964,688 contract.[6]
In the 2017–18 season, his sixth season within the Stars organization and having been unable to solidify a role on the blueline, Oleksiak appeared in 21 games recording just 3 points before he was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a conditional fourth-round pick in 2019 NHL Entry Draft on December 19, 2017.[7] Oleksiak immediately established his role with the Penguins and in his 47 regular-season games with the Penguins following the trade, he scored 4 goals, 10 assists for 14 points with increased ice-time. He made his post-season debut with the Penguins, adding 1 goal in 12 games.
On July 12, 2018, Oleksiak as a restricted free agent, agreed to a three-year, $6.4 million contract extension with the Penguins.[8]
In the 2018–19 season, on December 19, 2018, Oleksiak fought Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson in the first period and was briefly knocked unconscious. He left the game and did not return.[9] After evaluation, the team announced that Oleksiak had suffered a concussion as a result of the fight and would be sidelined from game action indefinitely.[10] He was eventually cleared to play on December 29.[11] On January 28, 2019, he was traded back to the Dallas Stars by the Pittsburgh Penguins for the same fourth-round draft pick in 2019 that he was originally traded to Pittsburgh for.[12]
On July 21, 2021, Oleksiak was selected from the Stars at the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft by the Seattle Kraken.[13] Oleksiak was immediately signed to a five-year, $23 million contract by the Kraken.[14]

Personal life
Oleksiak is of Ukrainian and Czech descent. He attended school with both Dougie and Freddie Hamilton at Crestwood Preparatory College in Toronto, Ontario, before moving to the United States to pursue his career in hockey.[17]
Oleksiak's youngest sister, Penny, is a competitive swimmer and Canada's most decorated Olympic athlete, having won a combined total of 7 medals at the 2016 Summer Olympics and 2020 Summer Olympics.[18][19]
