This past season saw him build on his rookie campaign, posting 34 points (18G, 16A) in 57 games while chipping in with six points in 10 playoff tilts. His game caught the eye of scouts and earned him a ranking of 36th among North American skaters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought it was a good season for myself,\u201d he said. \u201cI didn’t get to produce as many points as I was hoping to\u00a0but with that being said, I still thought that I played a big role on our team other than just getting points.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom a team standpoint, I thought we did really well this year. We definitely had our ups and downs throughout the season, but I think we turned it up when we needed to most. That Edmonton first-round series, it was great getting able to go in there and kind of upset them so that was definitely lots of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the NHL Draft inches closer, Olsen has kept himself busy hitting\u00a0the links with friends and family trying to sink that coveted hole-in-one, while also deep into his off-season training to prep for a big year making the jump from the WHL to NCAA.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old is committed to Colorado College for the upcoming season, taking the path many CHL\u2019ers have taken the past few years, to elevate his game to the next level.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got to fly down there, visit the campus and meet with the coaches,\u201d he said.\u201d I thought I built a great relationship with all the coaches there and a big part for me (committing) would just be the belief that they have in me and the plan that they have for me as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This past season saw him build on his rookie campaign, posting 34 points (18G, 16A) in 57 games…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":730486,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194293],"tags":[49,2798,48],"class_list":["post-730485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-calgary","tag-ca","tag-calgary","tag-canada"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=730485"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730485\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/730486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=730485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=730485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=730485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
