Since there is no confirmation from Hiesenberg's Recruiting Website, US Hockey Report or the St. Louis Bandits Website, its possible that Olszewski is a recruited walk-on.
DU has had success in recent seasons with players from the NAHL including Luke Salazar, Dusty Jackson, Chris Nutini & Brandon Vossberg. Obviously the Pioneers would be hoping for similar performance from Olszewski.
Olszewski plays for the NAHL St. Louis Bandits and is the team's leading scorer. He has 25 points (9g, 16a) in 27 games and is captain of the team. The Bandits also have the third best record in the NAHL this season.
Olszewski has been a key factor in the Bandits’ quick start. The 6-foot, 190-pounder has already surpassed last season’s point total of 13 and is thriving on the power play unit.
“Ozzie has been great for us,” St. Louis assistant coach Rocky Russo said. “He’s our captain and a leader, on and off the ice. He was a role player for the team last season and has developed into a complete hockey player.
“He has the potential to be an excellent Division I college player.”
Olszewski is from Janesville, Wisconsin and is twenty years old. He's 6'0 188 lbs.

This would be a very good thing for the Pioneers. Standing to lose 5 senior forwards (Rakhshani, Ruegsegger, Vossberg, Gifford, Glasser), the more depth we can continue to add in the forward corps, the better.
I would agree that Olszewski would appear to replace Vossberg's spot in the roster next season.
Great to see players that overachieve and work hard in the NAHL rewarded with spots in the WCHA.
Last DU player that I remember from Wisconsin was Kevin Ulanski. Left DU with a degree and two National Championship rings.
There is no "maybe" about it. He committed to Denver. I said so in my initial post.
I was just searching around the internet to give credit in case someone had already reported it.
I do not know scholarship details.
Thanks Chuck for passing along the info.
I'd still like to see one more forward for the squad next year...he'd have to be a recruited walk on though, like our new Ozzie.
Nice! Kind of reassuring, knowing we're already stacked once the fourth-year guys get thier dimplomas this spring.
Please; allow me to be the first to say... in a personal, heartfelt message to Dan and his family.... CC SUCKS! AND NORTH DAKOTA SWALLOWS
and DU Blows.
