Troy Stecher (/ˈstɛtʃər/ STECH-ər;[1] born April 7, 1994) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman for the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

Stecher played three seasons of college hockey with the University of North Dakota. Following his third season where he tallied 29 points, (surpassing 11 and 13 from the first two seasons) the Canucks signed him to a two-year entry-level contract on April 13, 2016.[2]

Stecher was a late cut from the Canucks' 2016 training camp and was sent to their AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets to start the season.[3] After playing in the Comets' first four games and tallying an assist, he was recalled to the Canucks on October 24, 2016.[4] He made his NHL debut the next day, logging 22:35 minutes of ice time in a 3–0 loss to the Ottawa Senators.[5] His first career assist and point came on a Daniel Sedin goal on November 5 in a 6–3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.[6] He scored his first NHL goal against Kari Lehtonen on November 13 in a 5–4 overtime victory against the Dallas Stars.[7]
