After going undrafted, the 6’0, 182 lb. Oesterle played collegiately with the Western Michigan Broncos where he was a teammate of Danny DeKeyser before being signed to a free-agent deal by the Edmonton Oilers. He’d later sign a free-agent deal with the Chicago Blackhawks, where he’d play until being dealt to the Arizona Coyotes in 2018.
In 252 career NHL games, Oesterle has scored 15 goals to go with 50 assists.
