U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Inducts Paul Stewart In Class of 2018
Stewart's Legacy In Hockey A Milestone, Not A Capstone
December 12, 2018
An icon in the sport of hockey, Stewart addressed the sold-out audience sharing his unique perspective on the game with an eye to both the past and the future. Stewart's grandfather, Bill Stewart, Sr., was the first American coach to win a Stanley Cup and is himself an inductee in the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. Stewart spoke of his innate love for the game and for all of the many people who bolstered and supported his dual careers in the sport. Yet, even with an eye to the past, Stewart's message was one for future generations of hockey fans and players. Stewart observed that his induction did not mark the end of a career in hockey, but the beginning of a new purpose in furtherance of the sport he loves.
Stewart spoke of "rededicating" himself to the game with an entirely new goal: growing and developing the sport for generations to come. To make this happen, the sport must be made affordable, inclusive and accessible, regardless of skill level. He spoke of the importance of bringing women not only into the ranks of players, but also into the field of refereeing. He spoke of the need to bring hockey to everyone, everywhere, regardless of income level, background or geography.

Matthew recounts “Stewy’s” story of the skates that would take him everywhere—from skating in circles at the local rink all of the way to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame, where Stewart is an inductee in the Class of 2018. A first year “squirt” hockey player himself, Matthew heard Paul’s story on NPR last year and innately understood, as only a child can, that the magic of Christmas and the holiday season-- and that one special gift-- can truly change your life. Matthew set out to share Paul’s story with a wider audience, finding an extraordinary collaboration with local artist and high school junior Chloe Mako. His prose is charmingly straightforward and her whimsical watercolor illustrations bring to life the magic of the story. “A Magical Christmas for Paul Stewart”is the first published work for both author and illustrator...CLICK TO READ MORE
