If Oles wasn’t playing hockey, he would probably be an electrician. Good Tradesmen are very hard to come by and Oles knows what he’s paying the construction crews to build his new house in Edmonton (let’s just say the 100 million dollar bank account is about to become a lot smaller…). Oles was raised in a blue collar family where his father was an electrician and his mother was a welder in Ukraine. Oles never liked the idea of being in such a hot environment like welding, not to mention you have so much protective gear on that it can be very annoying at times.

Oles’ father worked for the hydro company of Ukraine and for a non-athlete, he made some pretty decent money along with making many connections. It would only be fitting for Oles to follow in the foot steps of his father and continue the legacy of brightening up peoples words (literally!)
