Welcome to MiHockey’s new feature ‘The Shift’ – hockey questions for hockey players. In each ‘The Shift’ feature, we take you through the mindset of today’s hockey player through a question-and-answer session, profiling players from the NHL all the way down to youth travel hockey.

Our next featured player is Steven Oleksy, a member of the Washington Capitals organization and a Chesterfield native. The Lake Superior State product, who has played in the IHL, ECHL, AHL and NHL during his career, also runs the Eastside Elite Summer League for top-level talent to stay in shape during the offseason.
