Playing career
Stoykewych played junior hockey with the Winnipeg South Blues and the Des Moines Buccaneers from 2008 to 2011. He was selected by the Atlanta Thrashers in the seventh round, 199th overall, of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, ultimately becoming the Thrashers' final ever draft pick before their relocation to Winnipeg, Manitoba to become the Winnipeg Jets. Despite his draft selection, Stoykewych opted to join the Colorado College Tigers to play four seasons of collegiate hockey.
In 2014, Stoykewych joined the American Hockey League's St. John's IceCaps, now the Manitoba Moose, in 2014 on a two-year contract. He signed one-year contracts with the Moose in 2016 and 2017, and signed another two-year contract in July 2018.[1] He was named captain of the Manitoba Moose on October 11, 2018.[2]
Following his fifth season with the Moose and second as captain, Stoykewych announced his retirement from professional hockey on June 9, 2020 after the cancellation of the 2019–20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
