Early life and education

Stringer was raised in Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan where he began playing hockey at a very young age in a backyard rink. Stringer left home in tenth grade to play for a team in a stronger league.[2] He attended Merrimack College from 1995 to 1999. He led the team in goals scored in the 1996–97 season and led the team in overall scoring the next two years. In the 1997–98 season he also led the nation in assists.[2] That year he scored seven points in Merrimack's upset series victory over top seed Boston University in the Hockey East playoffs.[3] In 1999 he was named to the Hockey East All-Star team.[4]

Professional career

After leaving Merrimack, Stringer played for the Kentucky Thoroughblades of the AHL and the New Orleans Brass of the ECHL in the 1999–2000 season. The next year, he moved to the Fresno Falcons of the now-defunct WCHL. He then played for the Columbia Inferno of the ECHL from 2001 to 2003, making the ECHL all-star team in 2002.[5] He then spent the 2003–04 season in playing for Salzburg in Austria. Stringer returned to ECHL for the 2004–05 season, playing for the Las Vegas Wranglers before being sent to the Peoria Rivermen due to the Wranglers' salary cap issues.[6] The next year he briefly played for the Cardiff Devils of the EIHL before retiring from professional hockey. While in Cardiff, Stringer scored the final goal in the last game that the Devils played at Wales National Ice Rink.[7]

He currently works as an investment advisor for RBC Dominion Securities in his hometown of Gravelbourg.[8]
