Oliver Setzinger (born July 11, 1983) is an Austrian professional ice hockey forward currently playing for EC Weiz of the fourth tier Austrian League.

Playing career

Setzinger was selected by the Nashville Predators in the 3rd round (76th overall) of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft. After a short-lived experience in the AHL, he moved to Switzerland in 2007, where he played with HC Davos and SC Langnau Tigers in the Swiss National League A before signing a one-year contract with an option for two more seasons with Lausanne HC in National League B in 2010.{{cite web| url = http://www.20min.ch/ro/sports/hockey/story/13804674 | title = Setzinger moves to Switzerland | publisher = 20min.ch | date = 2010-02-03 | access-date = 2010-02-03 | language = fr}}

He extended with Lausanne to a new three-year contract in December 2010. LHC and Setzinger went on to win the National League B title and to get promoted in April 2013, upsetting Langnau in the promotion-relegation game, after many unfruitful attempts including 2 promotion-relegation games lost to EHC Biel over 8 years spent playing in second division.{{cite web| url = http://www.lematin.ch/sports/hockey/Le-Lausanne-HC-est-promu-en-LNA/story/10987553 | title = Lausanne gain promotion | publisher = lematin.ch | language = de | date = 2013-04-14 | access-date = 2013-04-14}} In the 2013–14 season, he tallied 34 points in 50 games{{cite web| url = http://www.planetehockey.com/fiche-joueur-setzinger-oliver,2329.html | title = Oliver setzinger player profile | publisher = planethockey.com | date = 2014-04-01 | access-date = 2014-04-01}} and contributed to LHC clinching a playoff spot in the Swiss elite league for the first time in the club's history.{{cite web| url = http://www.24heures.ch/sports/lhc/lausanne-s-offre-quart-finale-historique-face-zurich/story/29042290 | title = Lausanne face first playoff series in franchise history | publisher = 24heures.ch | language = de | date = 2014-05-01 | access-date = 2014-05-01}}

On July 11, 2014, Setzinger moved in a return to the Austrian Hockey League, signing with EC KAC of the EBEL.{{Cite web| url = http://www.kac.at/oliver-setzinger-bleibt-beim-ec-kac/ | title = Oliver Setzinger commits with KAC | publisher = EC KAC | date = 2014-07-11 | access-date = 2014-07-11 | language = de}}
