Michael Stewart (born May 30, 1972) is a Canadian-Austrian former professional ice hockey defenceman who has become a coach after his playing days. He was drafted in the first round, thirteenth overall, of the 1990 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Rangers, but never played a game in the NHL.
Playing career
Stewart attended Michigan State University before turning pro in 1992. He then played for the AHL's Binghamton Rangers for three seasons before bouncing around to several AHL and IHL teams, as well as time with the Canadian National Team. He spent the 2000-01 campaign with the Frankfurt Lions of the German DEL, before moving to Austria for the following season: Stewart played for EC VSV from 2001 to 2010, winning the Austrian championship in 2002 and 2006. He also represented the Austrian national team at the 2005, 2006 (B-Group) and 2007 World Championships.[1] After an 18-year playing career Stewart retired as a member of the EC VSV. He is one of four players in the history of EC VSV hockey to have his jersey number retired.
Coaching career
He started his coaching career as assistant coach to Johan Strömwall at EC VSV. In February 2011, he was promoted to head coach after Strömwall had stepped down.[2]
Stewart moved to coach the Fischtown Pinguins of the German DEL2 in May 2012 and guided the team to the 2013-14 DEL2 championship,[3] while being named DEL2 Coach of the Year.[4] At the 2014 Deutschland-Cup, he served as assistant coach of the Canadian national team.[5] On April 30, 2015,[6] he accepted an offer to become the head coach of German DEL side Augsburger Panther.
