Don’t know anything about this player but he is the only 13 year old playing in the Slovakia U18 league.
 
This kid is 13, but already bigger than Cole Caufield ;)
Do not know him, but his stats are very solid. 2nd in his team in points.

It´s not a secret that this kid is a most prominent Slovak player in the 2009 birth year and I like him a lot.

I saw him in person in WSI AAA tournament where he stood out and really impressed me. When he has a puck on his stick he´s terrific because of his great stickhandling and smart plays. He´s also a good skater, has a good shot, solid vision and is strong. On the other side he´s inconsistent sometimes and his play without the puck will need improvement - that´s why he has sometimes a quite silent games, he´s a little bit out of place or too passive and not often on the puck which is a pity.

After great WSI AAA tournament he played on WSI which wasn´t his best tournament but no problem for Ozogany. This month he shined again and as a clearly best scorer (20 points in 7 games) led Slovakia to the victory by absolutely dominant performance on WYC-14 tournament.

I won´t be surprised if in the next season his name will be discussed more and more.
 
Finished the 16U T1EHL playoffs after his team went 1-3, with 5-1-6 in 4GP, which put him 9th in scoring in the playoffs (the players ahead scored 7-10 points, to his 6). The game they won, he scored 4 goals, so he was 1-1-2 in 3GP they lost. All the players ahead of him in scoring were born in 2007, except for JP Hurlburt, a 2008, who is one of the best 2008 Americans, and a lock for the NTDP. Oliver is 6'1", so he has the size to make a smooth transition to junior hockey, when he gets the chance. He's one of many very promising Slovakian players born between 2009-2011. As of now, he's definitely one of the top 32 2009s that are known. Assuming he plays next season for Oakmoore in the T1EHL, he'll be a tender candidate for the USHL the following year.

Thanks for the update on Oliver Ozogany and you mentioned other slovaks born between 2009-2011, who are some other promising prospects to keep an eye on?

Sorry about trying to post from my tablet but was wondering who some of the other promising slovaks prospects are born between 2009-2011? And thanks for the update on Ozogany

Is he a LW, RW or C ?
 
How does something like this happen? Is his family spontaneously moving to Cleveland or does he live with a host family or in some sort of boarding school?

They’re probably promised the world to move there, pay for their hockey, equipment and training fully, promised more exposure in North America, probably a pretty penny for the parents on top of it as well. It‘s not like the program is bad, they produced AJ Spellacy, maybe Blake Arrowsmith this year and Yegor Kim looks interesting for 2026, so they’re maybe a program on the rise.

All are likely staying with billets.

The Cleveland team is uniting an interesting group of Czechoslovakian players in the new season - Sanejstr, Ozogany, Pisarcik (all top first three rounds in my opinion). It will certainly be interesting to watch the team. I have already ranked several interesting players of this franchise for the last season: Kim ("8" (if you can say so) round 26, with the prospect of rising to the draft "zone"), Tolen ("8", 26), Stupnickyi (6, 27).
 
Cleveland sitting 19th in USA. They get beat up by the upper echelon teams likely due to lack of depth
 
Saw this kid with the 15s in Cranberry for the Fall Classic. He was the Barons best player. Big, strong kid who drives the play. They were playing Mount so they were definitely outgunned. Like this kid a lot and will be following his career.

The Barons have secured quite a few European kids lately. Quite a few from the Ukraine. No idea how but they do have quite a few.
 
His numbers for the season are impossible to understand as I don’t know the breakdown of quality across the board. I wonder if he will get a chance at the U18’s
