For those that read Sjostrom and caused a ringing of bells in your head, apparently Oliwer is not related to Freddie Sjostrom who played on the Flames for one season in 2009/10, but may be most remembered for being the other guy in the Dion Phaneuf + Keith Aulie trade to Toronto. Sandman's write-up on Oliwer seemed really similar to Freddie Sjostrom's abilities too from what I remember - really fast, but he turned into an undersized checker for the majority of his NHL career (but had serious wheels). Oliwer does have some hockey relatives (uncles and cousins), but none have made the NHL (yet).
