Stephen K. Weeks (born June 30, 1958 in Scarborough, Ontario) is a retired Canadian ice hockey goaltender who played 13 seasons in the National Hockey League.
The New York Rangers drafted Weeks in the 11th round, 176th overall in the 1978 NHL Entry Draft out of Northern Michigan University. Weeks turned pro in 1980, and spent the majority of the 1980–81 season with the New Haven Nighthawks of the AHL, where he posted a 14–17–3 record with a 4.13 GAA and a shutout in 36 games with the team. Weeks did make his NHL debut in the 1980–81, appearing in one game, on April 2, 1981, as Weeks held the powerful New York Islanders to only two goals, however, lost the game 2–1. Weeks also appeared in a playoff game with the Rangers, allowing no goals in 14 minutes of ice time.
In 1981–82, under new head coach Herb Brooks, Weeks became the Rangers starting goaltender, leading New York with a 23–16–9 record with a 3.77 GAA and a shutout in 49 games, leading the club into the playoffs. Weeks struggled in the post-season, and lost his job to Eddie Mio, as the Rangers lost to their rivals, the New York Islanders, in the Patrick Division finals.
Weeks saw his playing time decrease in the 1982–83 season, appearing in just 18 games for the Rangers, going 9–5–3 with a 3.91 GAA. Weeks also saw some action with the Tulsa Oilers of the CHL, earning a record of 8–10–0 in 19 games with a 3.23 GAA.
