Karl Stollery (born November 21, 1987) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman. His last team was HC Bolzano, competing in Italy's ICE Hockey League (ICEHL).

Playing career

Stollery launched his junior hockey journey with the Camrose Kodiaks in the Alberta Junior Hockey League, where over four seasons (2004–2008) he played a key role in securing three league championships and Doyle Cup titles. He earned AJHL South All-Star honors twice and served as team captain during his second selection.

He continued his development at Merrimack College within the Hockey East conference. In his freshman campaign (2008–09), he led all Merrimack defenders with 16 points, gaining recognition on both the Hockey East All-Rookie and All-Academic teams. Throughout his collegiate tenure, Stollery consistently ranked as the top scoring defenceman for Merrimack while also maintaining academic excellence, culminating in a school record of 145 games played. His junior year marked a personal best of 27 points, earning him spots on the Hockey East All-Tournament Team and an honorable mention for All-Conference honors. In his senior year (2011–12), he captained the squad and was named to the Hockey East Second All-Star team.

Following college, Stollery inked an amateur try-out agreement with the Lake Erie Monsters of the AHL in March 2012, quickly making an impact by tallying seven points over nine games. This performance secured him a one-year contract with Lake Erie for the subsequent season. During 2012–13, he anchored the Monsters’ defensive corps, leading with 34 points across 72 games, which earned him a one-year NHL contract with the Colorado Avalanche.

In the 2014–15 season, Stollery appeared in five NHL contests for Colorado before being traded to the San Jose Sharks in March 2015. Initially assigned to their AHL affiliate Worcester Sharks, he made his NHL debut with San Jose later that season. He re-signed for 2015–16 but spent the full season with the San Jose Barracuda, their AHL affiliate.

In July 2016, Stollery agreed to a one-year two-way deal with the New Jersey Devils. That season (2016–17), he reached a personal best by playing in 11 NHL games while also contributing to their AHL affiliate Albany Devils.

As a free agent in June 2017, Stollery opted to continue his career in Europe by signing a one-year contract with Dinamo Riga of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). Over the 2017–18 KHL season, he recorded 14 points in 53 appearances before joining Jokerit, another Finnish-based KHL club, on a one-year agreement in August 2018.

In May 2019, Stollery extended his European tenure by signing a one-year contract with Frölunda HC competing in Sweden’s top-tier Swedish Hockey League (SHL). In January 2021, he secured a six-month deal with HC Bolzano of Italy’s ICE Hockey League.

International play

During the 2017–18 campaign, Stollery represented Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics held in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Occupying a role on the lower defensive pairings, he participated in four games and contributed to Canada securing the bronze medal.
