[1]

overall pick in the 2006 OHL Entry Draft, from the Markham Waxers of the OMHA. Playing
with the Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), he scored 100 goals over two years.
After a successful OHL career, Stamkos was selected first overall in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft by
the Tampa Bay Lightning. He is a two-time Maurice Richard Trophy winner as the NHL's leading
goal-scorer (2010 and 2012), is a one-time NHL Second Team All-Star (2011) and has been named
to three NHL All-Star Games (2011, 2012, 2015).
On January 7, 2014, Stamkos was named to the 2014 Canadian Olympic Hockey Team, but after a
CT scan in the afternoon of February 5, 2014, it was determined he would not play in Sochi due to
the broken tibia he sustained the previous November.[2]

Early life
Stamkos is of ethnic Macedonian[3] and Scottish descent.[4] He grew up in Unionville, Ontario, and played for the Markham Waxers in the Eastern
AAA League of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA). During one of his seasons with the North York Canadiens, he was teammates with
current NHLer P. K. Subban.[5] Prior to being drafted in the OHL, Stamkos attended Central Park Public School and St. Brother Andr Catholic High
School in Markham, Ontario. After being drafted by the OHL's Sarnia Sting, he attended Northern Collegiate Institute & Vocational School. Stamkos
won eight OMHA titles in a row in minor hockey and led his Waxers club to the OHL Cup title in March 2006.

Playing career
Sarnia Sting
Following a season with the minor Waxers, in which he scored 197 points over 66 games, Stamkos was selected first overall in the 2006 OHL Draft by
the Sarnia Sting. Stamkos played with other notable current NHLers in his minor and junior hockey career, including Logan Couture, John Tavares,
Michael Del Zotto, Cameron Gaunce, Cody Hodgson and P. K. Subban during his minor hockey career in the Greater Toronto Area. Joining the Sting
in 200607, he recorded 92 points (42 goals and 50 assists) over 63 games as a junior rookie. He was named to the OHL Second All-Rookie Team,
ranking behind Sam Gagner at the centre position.[6] Stamkos also won the Bobby Smith Trophy as the League's scholastic player of the year for his
academic efforts off the ice.

The following season, Stamkos improved to 58 goals and 105 points over 61 games. He was named to the OHL Second All-Star Team, but was later
selected to the CHL First All-Star Team, which encompasses all three national major junior leagues. Playing in his NHL draft-eligible season in 2007
08, Stamkos was top-ranked throughout the campaign by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau and International Scouting Services. He also won the
CHL's Top Draft Prospect Award.

Tampa Bay Lightning

As the 2008 NHL Entry Draft approached, Stamkos was largely seen as the best available centre. His
primary competition for the top overall pick were defencemen Drew Doughty and Zach Bogosian, as
well as Russian winger Nikita Filatov. The Tampa Bay Lightning, by virtue of their 200708 campaign
in which they won an NHL-worst 31 games, owned the first pick.[7][8][9]
As expected, Stamkos was selected first overall by Tampa Bay. On July 29, 2008, he signed a threeyear, entry-level contract with the Lightning, in which he could earn as much as $8.55 million in
performance bonuses.[10] Leading up to the start of the 200809 season, the Lightning centred their
promotional efforts around Stamkos, including a website with the slogan "Seen Stamkos?"
200809 season
Stamkos played in his first NHL game in Prague, Czech Republic, at the start of the 200809 season.
The Lightning fell to the New York Rangers 21 and were eventually swept in Prague. He recorded his
first point a secondary assist in his eighth game, which was against his hometown Toronto Maple
Leafs.[11] Following the game, Stamkos commented that his hometown support was "louder than when

Stamkos during the 200809 season

the Leafs scored."[12] He scored his first goal the next game against Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres.
After 54 games, Stamkos recorded the first NHL hat-trick of his career, on February 17, 2009. The Lightning held a 31 lead midway through the
second period on the strength of Stamkos' natural hat-trick, but were still beaten by the visiting Chicago Blackhawks, 53. The three goals enabled
Stamkos to become the first rookie in Lightning history to score three goals in a game. Additionally, he also became the second youngest player in
NHL history to record a hat-trick; current record-holder Bobby Carpenter was 18 when he scored three on February 25, 1982.[13][14][15]
Though Stamkos was heavily criticized for his lack of production during the first half of the season, in which he was limited to less than 10 minutes of
ice time some games (largely due to a dispute amongst then-Head Coach Barry Melrose and upper management, mainly Co-Owner Len Barrie on how
to approach the development of Stamkos in the NHL),[16] he finished the season with 19 points in his final 20 games.[17] In his rookie season, Stamkos
totalled 23 goals and 46 points, as well as a 13 plus-minus rating.
200910 season
Prior to the 200910 season, Stamkos spent the summer training extensively with former NHL player Gary Roberts, working on adding strength and
endurance.[18] Roberts got to know Stamkos in the 200809 season, his last in the League. He oversaw Stamkos' off-season workouts north of Toronto
in Roberts' in-house gym, which is a quick drive from Stamkos' family home in Unionville.[19] Stamkos spoke highly regarding the workouts: "It
helped me a lot," Stamkos said. "I learned a lot about what I needed to improve on. There are certain aspects of my game that have improved because
of that, and I'll be there again this summer working hard. It definitely gave me that extra jump for this season."[20]
In his second year with the Lightning, Stamkos began to find his range as an NHL sharpshooter and had a breakout season. Playing the bulk of the
season on a line with Martin St. Louis and Steve Downie, Stamkos started the 200910 campaign with ten goals in his first 11 games. Through the
months of January and February, Stamkos had an 18-game point streak. By the time he turned 20, he was in the top five in the NHL in scoring,
challenging the likes of Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby.[8]
On April 10, Steven netted a pair of goals against Tampa Bays rivals, the Florida Panthers, which made him reach the mark of 50 goals. Stamkos
ended the season with 51 goals, tied for most in the NHL with Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins; the two shared the Rocket Richard Trophy as
League goal-scoring champions. He tied Crosby in the final minute of the last game of the season with an empty-net goal. Stamkos became the thirdyoungest player to score 50 goals in a season, after Wayne Gretzky and Jimmy Carson.[21] His number of goals, 51, was five more than his total points
amount in the previous season. Additionally, Stamkos' 44 assists gave him 95 points for the season, good for fifth place in the NHL behind Henrik
Sedin, Alexander Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby and Nicklas Bckstrm. Tampa Bay, however, finished the year with 34 wins and 80 points. After the
season, the team's poor record prompted Lightning Owner Jeffrey Vinik to clean house General Manager Brian Lawton and Head Coach Rick
Tocchet were both fired.
201011 season
Following a high-scoring start to the 201011 season, in which he scored 19 goals in his first 19 games, Stamkos began to attract media attention for
challenging the elite "50 goals in 50 games" standard.[22] Wayne Gretzky, who scored 50 goals in a record 39 games in 198182, told reporters he
thought Stamkos was surrounded by enough talent in Tampa Bay to achieve the feat.[23]
On December 20, 2010, Stamkos scored his 26th goal of the season and the 100th of his career, leading the Lightning past the Carolina Hurricanes 51
on a Monday night game. Stamkos had one of three Lightning goals late in the second period that put Tampa Bay ahead 51. The centre's milestone
goal came in his 194th NHL game.[24]

In January 2011, Stamkos was named by the NHL to play in the NHL All-Star Game. Stamkos was drafted second overall by Team Lidstrom, joining
Tampa Bay teammate Martin St. Louis on the squad.[25] As the season progressed, however, it became apparent that Stamkos would not achieve the
50-in-50 mark. By the 52nd game, he had recorded a League-leading 38 goals. Stamkos' latter portion of the season was markedly less successful; he
recorded just seven more goals in the last 30 games.[26] Finishing with 45 goals, he ranked second in League-scoring, behind Corey Perry of the
Anaheim Ducks. His 91 points placed him fifth in the NHL for the second consecutive year.
As the Lightning ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference, Stamkos made his Stanley Cup playoff debut in 2011. On April 23, he scored his first two
career playoff goals, as well an assist, in an 82 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Lightning advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals
against the Boston Bruins. During the deciding Game 7, Stamkos took a slapshot from Bruins defenceman Johnny Boychuk to the face; the impact
broke his nose and bloodied his face, forcing him to momentarily leave the game, though he eventually returned wearing a full-visored mask. The
Lightning went on to lose the game 10, eliminating them from the playoffs. Stamkos scored below his regular season pace with 13 points over 18
games, ranking fifth in team-scoring.
201112 season
During the off-season, Stamkos became a restricted free agent on July 1, 2011. Eighteen days later,
however, he re-signed with Tampa Bay on a five-year, $37.5 million contract.[27]
On March 13, 2012, Stamkos scored his 50th goal of the 201112 season in a 61 win over Boston. In
doing so, he became the sixth player in NHL history to record more than one 50-goal season before his
23rd birthday.[28] He then scored his 53rd goal on March 26 against the Philadelphia Flyers, breaking
Vincent Lecavalier's team record for goals in a season, set in 200607.[29] Five days later, Stamkos set
an NHL record by scoring his fifth overtime goal of the regular season, beating Winnipeg Jets
goaltender Ondej Pavelec from the left circle, Stamkos' "trademark" shot during his first three seasons.
[30]

On the final day of the regular season, Stamkos recorded his 60th goal in a 43 overtime win against
Winnipeg, becoming the 20th player in League history to achieve the feat and the first since Alexander
Stamkos with the Tampa Bay Lightning in
February of 2012.

Ovechkin did so in 200708.[31] Adding to his 60 goals, Stamkos recorded 37 assists for 97 points,
ranking second in the NHL, 12 behind Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins, who, along with
Henrik Lundqvist, were named the League's three finalists for the Hart Memorial Trophy in April.
Despite Stamkos' individual success, the Lightning struggled as a team, finishing the season out of the
playoffs at tenth overall in the East.

201213 season
During the 201213 NHL lockout, Stamkos trained with a handful of other NHL players at Gary Roberts training academy in Ontario.[32]
The lockout also gave Stamkos an opportunity to do things in his hometown of Toronto he normally would not get to do. That included playing in his
father's pick-up hockey league every Thursday night, when he and former Lightning forward Steve Downie would mix it up with a group that varied
as much in age (2265) as ability. On playing in his father's pick-up league, Stamkos stated, "It was a blast, those guys loved it they don't get a chance
to play with NHL guys very often." He additionally added, "It was a lot of fun and something I'll cherish forever."[33]
On March 1, 2013, after play resumed for the shortened 201213 season, Stamkos was named the NHL's First Star of the Month for February. He
joined Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby and Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Ray Emery, who ranked as the Second and Third Stars, respectively.
Stamkos had a season-high six-game goal streak, six multi-point outings and recorded at least one point in 11 of 14 games last month. He ended
February on an eight-game point streak (seven goals and seven assists).[34]
On March 18, 2013, Stamkos scored his 200th career goal to give the Lightning the victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.[35] Stamkos ultimately
finished the season with 29 goals, ranking him second in the NHL behind Alexander Ovechkin's NHL-leading 32. He also had 28 assists, which gave
him a total of 57 points in 48 games.
201314 season
On November 11, 2013, Stamkos suffered a broken tibia in a game against the Boston Bruins. He was
backchecking on a play late in the second period when he was tied up with Boston defenceman Dougie
Hamilton. His left skate appeared to hit the post first before his right leg crashed into it around the shin
area. He tried to get up twice before going down to the ice in pain, grabbing his leg just above the ankle.
After a brief delay, a stretcher was brought out and he was taken off to loud applause. He was taken to
Massachusetts General Hospital.[36][37] Stamkos entered the day tied for the NHL's lead in scoring with
Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby.
On November 12, 2013, Stamkos underwent successful surgery in Boston to stabilize a fracture in his
right tibia, and he began rehabilitation immediately.[38]
On November 25, 2013, Stamkos made a press appearance where he was seen walking without the use
of crutches or a walking boot. He updated the media on his miraculous progress and was hopeful that he
could return to the Lightning before commencement of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, which he

was widely considered to play in for Team Canada.[39] Ultimately, however, he was unable to recover in time to participate in the Olympics. He was,

however, cleared to play for the Lightning on March 5 the same day former teammate Martin St. Louis was traded to the New York Rangers and
returned March 6 in a game against the Buffalo Sabres, which the team lost 31. Stamkos was named the new captain of the Lightning before the
game, replacing the departed St. Louis
On March 24, 2014, Stamkos played in his 400th career NHL game,[40] notching a power play goal[41] to tie the game at three in an eventual 43
shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators.
201415 season
On November 11, 2014, Stamkos picked up his 200th career NHL assist in a Tampa Bay Lightning 32 shootout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks.[42]
On December 9, 2014, Stamkos reached another career milestone when he scored his 250th NHL goal. The goal came in a Tampa Bay 53 loss to the
Washington Capitals, his 17th of the season.[43] On May 24, 2015, during the 2015 playoffs, Stamkos scored a goal in a 20 Lightning victory over the
New York Rangers, tying him with the Lightning playoff record for goals in consecutive games (4).[44]

International play
Stamkos played for Canada in the 2008 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, where he helped
the team win a gold medal. After his rookie season with the Lightning, Stamkos was named to
Canada's senior roster for the 2009 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships. Stamkos continued to
impress at the 2009 IIHF World Championships, scoring on his first career shift and meshing with
fellow Lightning forward Martin St. Louis for seven goals, 11 points and a +9 plus-minus rating en

Endorsements
Following his selection into the NHL, Stamkos signed a number of sponsorships, including an athletes
agreement with Nike. He was featured in a web-only Nike commercial called Forget Everything, which
was released to coincide with his first game in his hometown of Unionville on October 28, 2008. He has
also endorsed Tissot watches. On June 22, 2011, Stamkos was named the cover athlete for the EA
Sports' NHL 12 video game. In late 2013, he played the leading role in a web commercial for Coca-Cola
Zero named "Shawn Warford's Moment Zero." Most recently, Stamkos signed a multi-year sponsorship
with Sport Chek, Canada's largest sports retailer.
