Fredrik Jan-Ove Stillman (born August 22, 1966) is a Swedish former professional ice hockey player, currently general manager for HV71 in the Swedish elite league Elitserien.

Playing career

Stillman, sometimes locally called "Mr. HV", played as a defender when active, until suffering from a shoulder injury, which he received during a training match against IF Troja-Ljungby in 2000,[1] made it impossible for him to continue his active playing career. He has only played for one club, HV71, in the Swedish Elitserien during his career, although during two seasons, 1995–96 and 1999–00, he played in the German ice hockey league DEL with Berlin Capitals.[2] He still holds HV71's club records of most career assists (197) and career points (287).[3] On December 26, 2001, Stillman's jersey, no. 14, along with Stefan Örnskog's no. 15, were retired during a ceremony before a match against Frölunda HC in Kinnarps Arena.[4]

Managing career

After season 2000-01 Stillman retired from his active playing career and was appointed assistant coach to Pär Mårts in HV71. In March 2005, when HV71 contracted Göran Sjöberg as assistant coach, Stillman was appointed team manager, a position which he still holds.[5]

In 2008, Stillman won the Swedish Championship as general manager of HV71. Previously he had won the championship as a player in 1995 and as coach in 2004.[6]
