Honestly, I'd be more interested to know how Don Cherry pronounces it.

 

[Morpheus]

Oy Ster Lay

 

[Diamondillium]

I do Oh-Ster-Lay, but I'm definitely wrong and I just do it because when I first read his name, I thought of Eberle and went from there.

 

[Jumptheshark]

oompa loompa

 

[The Human Torch]

Umbasa.

 

[Jumptheshark]

[Zaddy]

Haha well it's an "English" name (and by that in an NHL context I mean the name of a North American English speaker) based on a European name and those are the toughest to guess at. The correct way is however he says it, which I haven't heard.

For the first syllable I could see "ohst", "ost" or even "est", but I really doubt it would be "oost". The last syllable could be either "lee" or "lay". In any case, it's all familial preference, as neither syllable is pronounced as it would be in the original German/Czech.

OH-Stir-Lee

 

[LTIR]

Os-Ter-Lay ...whats the big deal?

 

[Atas2000]

The original german version no english speaker would be able to properly pronounce.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I've always pronounced it Oo-Ster-Lay. Whether that's right or not, I have no idea.

Meh, not that hard. Should sound close to Uh-ster-le, no?

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

I thought it was "Au-ster-lee"

 

[KCC]

"That player that isn't ready yet"

 

[Kevotron]

I think Todd Mclelland pronounces it "Your cut"

 

[TheRebuild]

The "O" is silent.

It sounds like EASTER-lay.

Kind of like easterly, but with more stress on the "A" vowel at the end.

Just kidding... I have no clue.

 

[IBleedOil247]

I think it is pronounced "BaK-ers-FIEld"
