History
2006-07 Season: Team captain Joe Stejskal enjoyed an outstanding senior year at Grand Rapids (MN) high school, helping to guide the Thunderhawks to a state finals appearance for the second year in a row. Stejskal led all Grand Rapids defensemen in scoring with 34 points (14 goals, 20 assists). He was named to the Class AA All-Tournament and was the recipient of the 2007 Herb Brooks Award, which recognizes the most qualified hockey player in the state tournament who strongly represents the values, characteristics, and traits that defined Herb Brooks.
2007-08: In his freshman year with Dartmouth (ECAC), Stejskal played on the top defensive line with classmate Evan Stephens. He appeared in all 32 games for the Big Green, scoring five points total. He led the team in penalty minutes with 46. He played in all 22 league games, scoring four points. He netted his first collegiate goals against Cornell in the playoffs and helped hold opponents to just 27 power play goals.
Talent Analysis
Stejskal is an excellent puck-moving, two-way defenseman. At 6’2/190, he already has good size and utilizes it to great advantage. He is a very good skater who transitions quite well. One notable attribute about Stejskal is his ability to lay bone-jarring (and often clean) hits. He looks as comfortable offensively as he does defensively and plays both ends of the ice very efficiently. Stejskal possesses a very powerful shot and can get pucks to the net. He is a smart, fierce competitor and has a very good understanding of the game.
Future
Stejskal will enter his freshman year at Dartmouth College this fall.
