From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marián Šťastný (born January 8, 1953 in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, now Slovakia) is a former Slovak professional ice hockey right wing who played for five seasons in the National Hockey League from 1981 until 1986.
In 1981 he joined his two younger brothers, Peter and Anton as free agent at Quebec Nordiques, playing with them for four seasons. They were the first brother trio on one team since the Bentley brothers (Doug, Max and Reg) played together for the Chicago Black Hawks in 1943. He was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs before the beginning of the 1985–1986 season. He played only one season in Toronto and ended his career in Switzerland with the HC Sierre.
He has an older brother, Vladimír, former assistant coach of the Slovakia national ice hockey team, and is the uncle of two current NHL players, Yan Stastny and Paul Stastny, both of whom are Peter's sons.
He retired in the Quebec City area and after a brief attempt at coaching with the Junior Tier II CNDF hockey team. He is now the owner of a golf club and a hotel in St. Nicolas, on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River near Quebec City.
