Nick Stajduhar

Nick Stajduhar (born December 6, 1974) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman.

He was selected by the Edmonton Oilers in the first round of the 1993 NHL Entry Draft, 16th overall, a pick the Oilers received from the Los Angeles Kings in the Wayne Gretzky trade.

Stajduhar was a physical, offense-minded defenceman during his junior years (with the OHL's London Knights), however, his play went into a sharp decline following an off-season incident outside a nightclub in Edmonton during Stajduhar's spell with the Cape Breton Oilers.

Stajduhar was sucker-punched in the back of the head, an injury that left him concussed and delayed his start the following season.
