Darin Olver played high school hockey at Eastview High School under Head Coach Mike Gibbons. Highly recruited out of Canada he brought this new up and coming high school to the promise land that is the Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament in 2001. Olver played college hockey at Northern Michigan University and was a second round, 36th overall, NHL draft pick of the New York Rangers. Upon graduating from his collegiate career, Olver joined the Rangers American Hockey League affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack, on an amateur try-out to end the 2006–07 season.
Without an offer from the Rangers, Olver left for Germany signing a one-year contract with the Fischtown Pinguins of the 2nd Bundesliga. Leading Fischtown with 56 points in 52 contests, Olver was picked up by DEL team, the Straubing Tigers.
With a season limited with injury and producing only 11 points, Olver left for Augsburger Panther signing a one-year contract on March 2, 2009. In the 2009–10 season, Olver broke out to be among the DEL leaders with 60 points, resulting in helping an unlikely Augsburg reach the finals for the first time in their DEL history and quickly earning a one-year extension on March 17, 2010.
