Jozef Stümpel (born 20 July 1972) is a Slovak former professional ice hockey centre.[1] He played in the National Hockey League with the Boston Bruins, Los Angeles Kings, and Florida Panthers between 1992 and 2008. Internationally Stümpel played for the Slovak national team at several tournaments, including the 2002, 2006, and 2010 Winter Olympics, and eight World Championships, winning a gold in 2002.

Playing career

Stümpel was selected in the second round, 40th overall, by the Boston Bruins in the 1991 NHL Entry draft, and immediately joined the Bruins organization. Prior to the 2004–05 NHL lockout season, Stümpel had played for only two clubs, the Bruins and the Los Angeles Kings. For the 2005–06 season, Stümpel joined the Florida Panthers.

Stümpel was placed on unconditional waivers on June 27, 2008, and Florida decided to buy out his contract.

On May 4, 2011, Stümpel moved from the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL)'s Dinamo Minsk to Spartak Moscow.

A long-time friend of Žigmund Pálffy since the beginning of their professional careers, they were often line-mates on the Slovak national team.

In season 2023/2024 he played three games for HC Levice, in 3rd ice hockey League in Slovakia.
