JAMIESON OLEKSIAK

Northeastern, H-East
 
Position: Defenseman Shoots: Left
Height: 6'7" Weight: 244
Born: 12/21/92 Born In: Toronto, ON
   
THE SKINNY:
With a premium placed on large defensemen, Jamieson Oleksiak definitely fits the bill (6’7, 244 pounds). He was the second-youngest player invited to Team USA’s final camp for the 2011 World Junior Championships. Oleksiak didn’t turn 18 until this past December, but still led his junior team with a plus-13 rating, and was second among defensemen with 12 points in 34 games.

Oleksiak’s father Richard lettered in track at Colgate University and is in the Nichols School Hall of Fame for football, basketball, and track. Jamieson’s older brother Jake, was the captain of his Nichols School hockey team.  

NHL Central Scouting's Gary Eggleston: "I think he has unbelievable upside. Whoever gets him is probably going to hit a home run with this kid. You could be looking at a 15- to 16-year player in the League, and to get a kid that size and skates that well is not common. He handles the puck well, has an excellent shot and his pass percentage completion in two games I saw was 100 percent -- he never missed. He covers a lot of ice in a very short time and it's a long trip around the outside with that wing span of his. He always has that stick out there dangling, too, so he keeps the guys about eight feet away."
