Playing career
Amateur
Ostapchuk was selected by the Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League (WHL) in the first round, 12th overall, in the 2018 WHL draft. He made his major junior hockey debut with the Giants in the 2018–19 season, appearing in six games, going scoreless. The Giants qualified for the 2019 WHL playoffs and advanced to the league finals, losing to the Prince Albert Raiders. Ostapchuk made two playoff appearances, going scoreless. He played in 44 games, scoring five goals and three assists for eight points. His season ended early, after he suffered a knee injury, missing the final 18 games, before the season was cancelled by the WHL due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the pandemic-shortened 2020–21 season, Ostapchuk played in 22 games for the Giants, scoring seven goals and 16 points.
In his first full season in 2021–22, Ostapchuk scored 26 goals and 43 points in 60 games. However, the Giants were playing poorly and they traded away their captain, Justin Sourdif, at the 2022 WHL trade deadline in January 2022. Ostapchuk was named the team's new captain in March 2022. The team turned around their fortunes and made the playoffs in the eighth and final spot, where they surprised the league's number one team, the Everett Silvertips in the first round. They then lost to the Kamloops Blazers in the second round. Ostapchuk played in 12 playoff games, scoring seven goals and 23 points.
