Yan Pavol Stastny (born September 30, 1982) is an American-Canadian professional ice hockey centre currently an unrestricted free agent. He most recently played for the Schwenninger Wild Wings of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). Yan comes from the Slovak Stastny hockey family, and is the son of Hockey Hall of Famer Peter Šťastný (one of the first star Eastern Bloc players to defect to the West). His uncles Anton and Marián Šťastný also played in the NHL, and his brother Paul Stastny plays for the St. Louis Blues.
Yan Stastny was born in Quebec City, but he moved to New Jersey and then to St. Louis, Missouri at age 7 when his father joined the St. Louis Blues, and where he and his siblings were raised. He played high school hockey for Chaminade College Preparatory School for two years, and then transferred to Parkway Central High School, because Chaminade would not let him miss classes to play junior hockey. During his final years of high school, he played for the Junior B St. Louis Jr. Blues and then the Junior A St. Louis Sting.
