A former player for the Blackhawks, Maple Leafs, Jets, Rangers, Penguins, and Kings, Olczyk has been in broadcasting for the past 20 years and is well liked and respected amongst the NHL and hockey community.
On July 12, 2012, Olczyk was elected into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks. Olczyk also played in nine different events for the United States team during his career.
