Playing career

Born in Toronto, Ontario, he played in the 1965 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Toronto.[1]

Stone played his junior hockey for the Niagara Falls Flyers alongside future NHL stars such as Don Lever, Eric Vail, and Jim Schoenfeld. He was selected 131st overall in the 1972 NHL Amateur Draft by the Vancouver Canucks, who had just taken his junior linemate Lever 3rd overall and hoped the two could continue their exploits in pro.

Stone would put up big numbers in the minors in his first two seasons in Vancouver's system and earned a callup midway through the 1973–74 season, appearing in two games on January 11 and January 12, 1974, without recording a point. He would eventually fall out of the Canucks' plans, toiling for three more seasons in the International Hockey League before retiring in 1977.

gollark: Well, they seem to have tried to do that initially for a bit, then gave up (at least for my year), leaving us doing something like two lessons a week but being set a bunch of random papers to do (which I mostly ignored because they are extremely boring).
gollark: I'm glad school is over for me now and I can avoid worrying about them doing stupid things.
