Ricky Olczyk was named the Oilers' Assistant General Manager and Director of Hockey Administration and Legal Affairs on August 8, 2008. In his position, Olczyk works closely with the GM on various hockey operations duties, including player contracts, negotiations and NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement issues.

Olczyk, the 38-year-old younger brother of former NHL forward Ed Olczyk, joined the Oilers in 2007 after six seasons in the private sector, where he ran his own legal consulting firm in Chicago, Illinois.

Born and raised in Chicago, Olczyk played four seasons of NCAA Division I hockey at Brown University between 1988-89 and 1991-92 and served as the Bears' captain during his senior season. He was named to the Academic All-Ivy Team in 1991-92. Olczyk was also the captain of the United States Under-17 National Team that won the silver medal at the 1986 World Cup in Chicago.

A 1996 graduate of Cornell Law School, Olczyk was admitted to the Arizona Bar in 1996 and worked two years with a law firm in Phoenix. He also spent two seasons with the NHLPA before opening his own legal consulting firm in Chicago.
