DID YOU KNOW?

Dan retired from professional hockey as a player at the end of the 1958-59 season, and was hired as the assitant trainer and practice goaltender of the Detroit Red Wings. On October 21, 1961, in a game against the New York Rangers, the Rangers' Gump Worsley was injured and could not continue, so the Wings loaned Olesevich to the visitors. Olesevich allowed two goals in twenty-nine minutes, earning the tie in a 4-4 draw.
In 1996, Dan was inducted into the Professional Hockey Athletic Trainers Society / Society of Professionnal Hockey Equipment Managers Wall of Honour for his contributions to the profession.
