Northeastern University Athletics

Upon conclusion of Northeastern's 2010-11 season, Jamie Oleksiak is considered one of the top defensive prospects in this year's NHL Draft at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn., June 24-25. After leading the Huskies in plus/minus (+13) and accruing the second-most points from the blue line (4-9-13), the 6'7 rearguard is projected to be the first collegiate skater selected in the 2011 NHL Draft.
