Turner Ladd Stevenson (born May 18, 1972) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey right winger who competed in the NHL for 13 seasons, representing the Montreal Canadiens, New Jersey Devils, and Philadelphia Flyers. He earned the Stanley Cup championship with New Jersey in 2003.
Playing career
Selected 12th overall in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens, Stevenson remained with the team for nine seasons. During the 2000 NHL Expansion Draft, he was left unprotected and subsequently claimed by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Shortly after, he was traded to the New Jersey Devils to fulfill an earlier agreement involving Krzysztof Oliwa. Stevenson spent four seasons with New Jersey, including the 2003 Stanley Cup-winning campaign. Following the 2003–04 season, he inked a three-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers. His 2005–06 season was limited to just 31 games due to hip complications. Eventually, the Flyers bought out his contract, leading to his retirement on April 13, 2007. After ending his playing career, Stevenson transitioned into coaching as an assistant with the Seattle Thunderbirds, the junior team where he had previously played.
Personal Info
Hailing from Mackenzie, British Columbia, a northern community, Stevenson started playing hockey at a young age on a modest rink near his residence in the Gantahaz Lake vicinity.
As of 2019, he lives in Seattle and serves as a coach for the Everett Silvertips junior hockey organization.
