Olivier Archambault's professional career includes 94 American Hockey League appearances (39 points) and 276 ECHL games with a whopping 278 total scoring points. The French-Canadian sat out one season due to Covid, but returned strong as usual in 2021/22.

HC Pustertal Sports Director Patrick Bona: "Olivier Archambault is a very fast and technically skilled winger who is not afraid to go into the corners and also play a little harder sometimes. We are counting on his great experience in the professional game and are convinced of his scoring qualities. The Puschtra crowd can look forward to a hungry and complete player."

Olivier Archambault: "I can't wait to come to Brunico and play in front of the Pustertal crowd. I've heard a lot of good things about the city and the club and I'm really looking forward to the first training camp with the guys."
