Born in Fredericton, New Brunswick, O’Leary played ice hockey at St. Thomas University in his hometown of Fredericton.

In the 2016-17 season, he led the team to the NLB title, beating the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers in the finals. He parted ways with Langenthal after the conclusion of the season and was named assistant coach at National League A club Genève-Servette HC on May 19, 2017.
