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, 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. He still holds HV71's club records of most career assists (197) and career points (287). 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.

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or career:
“We cannot set aside an hour for discussion with our children and hope that it will be a time of deep encounter. The special moments of intimacy are more likely to happen while baking a cake together, or playing hide and seek, or just sitting in the waiting room of the orthodontist.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
