Ollas was drafted by the Rangers in the seventh round, 197th overall, of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.[1][2]

At 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 metres) tall, Ollas is larger than most goaltenders. Going into the 2020 draft, he was taller than any goaltender playing in the NHL. He was considered by The Hockey Writers to be "a rough goalie prospect with an incredibly high ceiling.[3] The Hockey News writer Stan Fischler acknowledged that is size is an asset but expressed concern about his mobility.[4]

Ollas would play three years at Merrimack college. He would go 10-6 his freshman year and being named the teams rookie of the year.[5] During his sophomore year he was named the Hockey East goaltender of the month for November 2022, after posting 96 saves for a .960 saves percentage for the Merrimack Warriors.[6] He would also be named a Hockey East Third Team All-Star.On top of this Ollas had have 5 shutouts that year setting the program record for most in a season. As well as helping lead Merrimack to the NCAA tournament for the first time in a decade. He would finish his time at Merrimack with a 27-27 record.

In March 2024 Ollas signed a 2 year contract with the Rangers.[7] Ollas made his North American professional debut for the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL) on 20 April 2024, in a 6–4 win against the Springfield Thunderbirds.[4][8] Ollas would play for the Worcester Railers during the 2024-25 season playing in 22 games going 10-9-2 overall. He would be given the team’s performance of the year award at the end of the season for his 31 save debut win vs reading.[9]

Ollas spent most of the 2025-2025 season with the Bloomington Bison of the ECHL. He was briefly called up to the Rangers during the 2026 Olympic break, but was demoted to Bloomington when the Olympic break ended.[10][11][12] This was done because the Rangers were required to have 2 healthy goalies on their roster during the break, and their starting goalie Igor Shesterkin was injured at the time, but they wanted their goalies at Hartford to remain active.[10][12] He was promoted to Hartford at the end of the season.[13]
