Jordan Oesterle, born on June 25, 1992, in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, stands at 6 feet and weighs 182 pounds. He began his hockey journey in the U.S. Hockey League with the Sioux Falls Stampede before advancing to college hockey with the Western Michigan Broncos. His performance in the NCAA caught the attention of NHL scouts, leading to an undrafted signing by the Edmonton Oilers in 2014.
Oesterle is known for his smooth skating and puck-moving abilities, making him a valuable asset on the blue line. His vision and passing skills allow him to contribute effectively in transition and on the power play. While not the most physical defenseman, his ability to read the game and position himself well compensates for this, providing a steady defensive presence.
Oesterle's NHL journey includes stints with the Edmonton Oilers, Chicago Blackhawks, Arizona Coyotes, and Detroit Red Wings. One of his notable achievements was scoring his first NHL goal on January 20, 2018, while playing for the Blackhawks. His consistent performance has kept him a reliable option for teams looking to bolster their defensive corps.
