Jimmy Oligny Commits to Cardiff Devils for Two More Years
Defenceman Jimmy Oligny has signed a new two-year contract with the Cardiff Devils, continuing his tenure with the team after an impressive 2025-26 season.
The 33-year-old Canadian was a key player for the Devils, participating in all 68 games during the season—one of only four players on the team to do so. Oligny contributed seven goals and 25 assists, totaling 32 points, and played a significant role in helping the Devils secure their fourth Play-Offs Final victory by defeating the Sheffield Steelers last month.
Despite sustaining a broken thumb, Oligny remained on the ice for the final three weeks of the campaign, demonstrating his resilience and commitment to the team. This season marked his first playing year in Wales.
Before joining Cardiff Devils, Oligny gained experience internationally, having played for HKM Sloven in Slovakia and the Graz 99ers in Austria. Additionally, he spent six seasons with the Manitoba Moose in the American Hockey League.
