Here's what I got on Chase Stillman

He's a 22, 6'1 RW/LW though he's been listed as a center on some teams. He's technically from St. Louis but lived in Canada when his father's NHL career ended.

Absolutely loves his dad and brother. Said his dad is his biggest role model and his brother his favourite nhl player. Multiple posts on social media praising and congratulating them as well. In the OHL his dad was the team coach so he stayed with a billet family to help keep the divide between "coach" and "dad" but still went to family dinners.

He also got his first professional hockey goal in a game against his brother's team at the time as well as a hat trick later that season. His first season in the AHL was actually pretty good with 54 games played and 24 points. He struggled a bit more last season (24-25) with being in the Utica Comets, getting called up to the Devils only to be scratched for every single game, and getting traded to the Penguins on the trade deadline. He then didn't do super great with the WB Penguins either though that's something I don't think I can totally blame him for.

He played for Canada's U18 team in 2020-21 alongside other known players such as Connor Bedard, Logan Stankoven, and Wyatt Johnston to name a few. During that same season due to Covid he played for a Danish junior team to continue his development and got 16 points in 8 games with 9 of those points being goals.

Some fun facts is that if he wasn't a hockey player he would've wanted to be a rockstar similar to AC/DC but more realistically he had the grades to become a doctor. He also likes TMNT :3 Very quick to praise others and talk about feedback as well.

This is a really good article that I just recommend to get to know him and his mindset a little more. (Also starts with a story on how he had to deal with a bat at 1am)

He's a video of him beating the shit out of a Blazer

and here's a video of him mic'd up in Utica
