Guelph, ON – TheStable.ca, horse racing’s fastest-growing fractional ownership stable, has added United States Hockey Hall of Famer Eddie Olczyk to its all-star client roster.

He is a part-owner of Olympic Hopeful, a two-year-old Illinois-bred filly who will make her racing debut this summer.

Olczyk recently hosted an event at Hawthorne Race Course in Cicero, IL where the track awarded fractions of the filly to five contest winners.

Before becoming head coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins from 2003 to 2005, Olczyk played with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Winnipeg Jets, New York Rangers, Los Angeles Kings, Chicago Blackhawks, and Pittsburgh Penguins for 16 seasons in the NHL between 1984 and 2000.

He currently serves as a television analyst for the NHL on NBC and Chicago Blackhawks games on NBC Sports Chicago and WGN-TV.

The Chicago native joins fellow NHL alumni Doug Gilmour and Rick Vaive who became clients of TheStable.ca in 2018.

Olczyk is also involved in Thoroughbred racing and has served as analyst and handicapper for the  NBC Sports broadcasts of the Triple Crown and Breeders’ Cup. An avid punter, he also won the Pegasus World Cup Betting Championship last year, collecting the first-place prize of $137,500.

There are currently 137 Standardbred horses (including 75 two-year-olds) in TheStable.ca, which was created three years ago by Anthony and Amy MacDonald of Guelph, ON.

The innovative and engaging model of TheStable.ca invites people to own as little as one percent of a horse, making the thrill of harness racing and racehorse ownership easy, accessible and affordable.
