Jarret Lee Stoll (born June 24, 1982) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player.

He played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, New York Rangers and Minnesota Wild.

1997

In 1997, Stoll helped the Yorkton Bantam AAA Terriers to a Western Canadian Championship.

While in Yorkton, Stoll attended St. Paul's Elementary School and Sacred Heart High School.

He has an older brother, Kelly, who played for the Yorkton Terriers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL), and a younger sister Ashley, who played for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies women's hockey team.

After winning the bantam championship, Stoll moved on to play for the Saskatoon Blazers of the Saskatchewan Midget Triple A Hockey League.

While in Saskatoon, Stoll attended St. Joseph High School.

Prior to joining the Blazers, Stoll was the first overall pick of the 1997 WHL Bantam Draft by the Edmonton Ice.

Stoll started his Western Hockey League (WHL) career at the end of the 1997–98 season with the Ice, while they were still located in Edmonton.

After this season, the team relocated to Cranbrook, British Columbia, and were renamed the Kootenay Ice.

He played his entire junior career with the Ice franchise.

In his third season, he was named team captain.

2000

In his initial year of eligibility, he was selected by the Calgary Flames 46th overall in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft, but was unable to come to terms with the team.

The Flames arranged a trade to the Toronto Maple Leafs, who thought they had made arrangements to have a contract signed by the appropriate deadline, but their fax to NHL headquarters did not make it in time.

2001

In his final junior season (2001–02), Stoll captained the Ice to a Memorial Cup championship.

While playing in Kootenay, Stoll went through the NHL draft process twice.

Also during his junior career, Stoll twice represented his country at the World Junior Hockey Championships, in 2001 and 2002, winning bronze and silver medals respectively.

2002

Stoll ended up re-entering the 2002 NHL Entry Draft, where he was selected by the Edmonton Oilers 36th overall.

In 2002, Stoll was named captain for Team Canada.

After completing his junior career with Kootenay, Stoll entered the Oilers system, and suited up for the Hamilton Bulldogs of the American Hockey League (AHL) in 2002–03.

During the season, he received his first call-up to the Oilers and played in his first four NHL games, registering an assist as his first career point.

2003

In 2003–04, he skated with the Oilers full-time.

2004

During the lock-out season of 2004-05, Stoll returned to the AHL to play with the Edmonton Roadrunners.

2005

Stoll resumed playing with the Oilers during the 2005–06 season.

The 2005–06 season marked Stoll's first Stanley Cup playoffs appearance, highlighted by his game-winning goal in overtime of Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarter-finals against the Detroit Red Wings.

2006

During a game against the Vancouver Canucks on February 4, 2006, Stoll set an Oilers record by winning 21 of 22 faceoffs (95.45%) taken.

2007

Entering the 2007–08 season, Stoll was named one of the Oilers alternate captains for the team's road games.

2008

On June 29, 2008, Stoll was traded to the Los Angeles Kings (along with Matt Greene) in exchange for Ľubomír Višňovský.

On September 5, the Kings signed Stoll to a four-year contract worth $14.4 million.

In 2008–09, Stoll scored 18 goals with 23 assists for 41 points.

He is currently part of the player development department for the Kings.

Stoll played his early minor hockey in Saskatchewan.

He started in the small town of Neudorf, shortly thereafter moving on to minor hockey in Melville, and then to Yorkton, Saskatchewan.

On April 22, 2012, he scored the series-winning goal in overtime to eliminate the Vancouver Canucks—the winners of the Presidents' Trophy—in Game 5 of the Western Conference Quarter-finals.

On June 11, 2012, Stoll won his first Stanley Cup with the Los Angeles Kings, their first championship in history of the franchise, against the New Jersey Devils.

Subsequently, he signed a three-year, $9.75 million contract on June 25 to remain with the Kings.
