History
2006-07: Drafted in the fourth round (70th overall) of the 2007 WHL Bantam Draft by the Chilliwack Bruins.
2007-08: Played in one regular season WHL game for the Chilliwack Bruins.
2008-09: Was a dominant player and one of the tougher players in the SSMHL for the Caronport Cougars HS midget team in Saskatchewan. Stahl scored 25 goals with 15 assists in 34 games while racking up 182 PIM.
2009-10: Stahl made his official debut with the Bruins, playing in 59 games for that club. He picked up 6 assists and was -15 while racking up 146 PIM. In the Bruins’ first round playoff loss to the Tri-City Americans, Stahl was scoreless with 18 PIM in six games.
2010-11: Stahl was again one of the WHL's leaders in penalty minutes while playing a shut-down style of defense for the Chilliwack Bruins. Stahl's 182 minutes in penalties were the most on a Bruins' team that had five players with 90 or more PMs. Offensively, he scored 1 goal (a power play goal) with 9 assists and he had a -15 plus/minus in 67 games. Stahl played in 3 of 5 playoff games for the Bruins; receiving a suspension for an elbowing incident during the series with Spokane and was +1 with 18 PMs.
Talent Analysis
Stahl does not have a lot of subtlety to his game. He is a big, aggressive defenseman who relishes the physical side of the game and looks to make things rough on opposing forwards. Stahl is one of the tougher fighters in junior hockey; he had fifteen fights for Chilliwack in 2009-10. He understands his role and the flow of the game does not run around recklessly. Stahl has focused on defensive play in junior hockey after showing offensive instincts at the midget level. With just one year of midget hockey under his belt thus far, Stahl is still a work in progress in terms of developing his game.
Future
Stahl will return to Chilliwack for his second season of junior hockey after training camp. Stahl’s long-term projection is as a physical, stay-at-home defender who can drop the gloves.
