#26 Jozef Stumpel Position: Centre Height: 5'11" Weight: 215 Born: Nitra, Slovakia Date: July 20, 1972

Acquired: Trade with Vancouver Scouts, 1997.

Scouting Report: Stumpel has blossomed into a fine number-one centre in the NSHL. As a fine playmaker, Stumpel fits perfectly with his linemates. Very slick and has great vision on the ice; the Slovak is able to put the puck right on your tape. Stumpel has a good work ethic and will take abuse to make the necessary play.

Usually needs to pay more attention to the defensive zone, but Stumpel logs plenty of ice time and is just entering his prime.
