Rostislav Olesz (born 10 October 1985) is a professional ice hockey left wing currently playing for HC Olomouc in the Czech Extraliga (ELH). He was selected seventh overall by the Florida Panthers during the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

On 24 June 2011, Olesz was traded from the Panthers to the Chicago Blackhawks in return for defenseman Brian Campbell. Following his waiver clearance on 17 November 2011, he was assigned to the Blackhawks' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs.

After the Blackhawks opted for a compliance buyout on his contract on 28 June 2013, Olesz became an unrestricted free agent. Subsequently, he inked a one-year contract with the New Jersey Devils on 5 July 2013. During the 2013–14 season, Olesz played ten games with the Devils, tallying two assists before being sent down to their AHL team, the Albany Devils. After five games in Albany, he was placed on unconditional waivers to terminate his contract.

On 21 November 2013, Olesz departed North America and joined Swiss squad SC Bern of the National League A for the remainder of that season.
