[edit] Early Hockey Career

Stoll played his early minor hockey in Melville, and then moved down the highway to Yorkton, Saskatchewan, excelling for their 'AA' and 'AAA' teams throughout the years. In 1997, Stoll helped the Yorkton Bantam AAA Terriers to a Western Canadian Championship.[1] While in Yorkton, Stoll attended Sacred Heart High School. Jarret has an older brother, Kelly, who played for the Yorkton Terriers of the SJHL, and a younger sister Ashley who played for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies Women's hockey Team.

After winning the bantam championship, Stoll moved on to play for the Saskatoon Blazers of the Saskatchewan Midget Triple A Hockey League. Prior to joining the Blazers, Stoll was the first overall pick of the 1997 WHL Bantam Draft by the Edmonton Ice.[2]

[edit] Junior Hockey Career

Stoll started his WHL career at the end of the 1997–98 season with the Ice, while they were still located in Edmonton. After this season, the team relocated to Cranbrook, British Columbia, and were renamed the Kootenay Ice. He played his entire junior career with the Ice franchise. In his third season, he was named team captain.[1] In his final junior season (2001–2002), Stoll captained the Ice to a Memorial Cup championship.[3]

While playing in Kootenay, Stoll went through the NHL draft process twice. In his initial year of eligibility, he was selected by the Calgary Flames 46th overall in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft. He was unable to come to terms with the Flames. The Flames arranged a trade to the Toronto Maple Leafs, who thought they had made arrangements to have a contract signed by the appropriate deadline, but their fax to league headquarters did not make it in time.[1] Stoll ended up re-entering the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. This time he was selected by the Edmonton Oilers 36th overall.

Also during his junior career, Stoll twice represented his country at the World Junior Hockey Championships, in 2001 and 2002, winning bronze and silver medals respectively. In 2002, Stoll was named captain for Team Canada.

[edit] Professional career

After completing his junior career with Kootenay, Stoll entered the Oilers system, and suited up for the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL in 2002–03. During the season, he received his first call up to the Oilers, and played in his first four NHL games, registering an assist as his first career point. In 2003–04, he skated with the Oilers full time. During the lockout season of 2004–05, Stoll returned to the AHL, with the Edmonton Roadrunners.

During the 2005–06 season with the Oilers, and during their run to the playoffs, Stoll solidified his position as a top faceoff man, and reliable NHLer. During a game against the Vancouver Canucks on February 4, 2006, Stoll set an Oilers record by winning 21 of 22 faceoffs (95.45%).[4] The 2005–06 season marked his first Stanley Cup playoffs appearance.

In the 2006–07 season, Stoll ran into the first serious injury issues of his career, when he was waylaid with a concussion and missed over 30 games. Heading into the 2007–08 season, Stoll was named one of the Oilers alternate captains for the team's road games.

During the 2007–2008 skills competition Stoll showcased the hardest shot at 101.5 miles per hour. Stoll is also famous for his stick breaking during slapshots.

[edit] Personal

Stoll has been dating Rachel Hunter, since 2006. During the off season, he hosts a charity golf tournament in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to benefit the Jarret Stoll Comfort fund at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon.[5]
