Mathieu Olivier (born February 11, 1997) is a Canadian-American professional ice hockey player who is a right winger and alternate captain for the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League (NHL). Olivier is the first Mississippi-born player in NHL history, as well as the first player born in the Gulf Coast region to play for the Predators. Olivier was born on February 11, 1997, in Biloxi, Mississippi while his father Simon was playing for the ECHL's Mississippi Sea Wolves. He lived in Mississippi for three months before moving to various cities and countries including Canada, Germany, Oklahoma City, and Houston while his father played hockey. He attended kindergarten in Germany and picked up the language before moving back to his family's native Canada. Growing up in Quebec, Olivier as a youth played with the Lévis Commandeurs in the Quebec Junior AAA Hockey League (QMAAA) before he was selected by the Moncton Wildcats in the 2013 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) Entry Draft. His tenure with the Wildcats only lasted one and a half seasons, however, as he was traded to the Shawinigan Cataractes for a 3rd round pick in December 2014. At the time of the trade, Olivier had accumulated 21 points through 86 games. Upon joining the Cataractes, Olivier played in the QMJHL's first Winter Classic and scored a goal in the 4–2 win over the Victoriaville Tigres. Prior to the start of the 2015–16 season, Olivier was named an assistant captain alongside Alex Pawelczyk, Zachary Taylor, Alexis D'Aoust, and Giovanni Fiore.
