Career

Stéphane Da Costa began his career as an ice hockey player in his French homeland, where he was active for a year between 2004 and 2006 for the youth teams of Viry-Châtillon Essonne Hockey and HC Amiens Somme . The center then went to North America, where he stood on the ice for the junior teams Texas Tornado from the North American Hockey League and Sioux City Musketeers from the United States Hockey League for the next three years . From 2009 to 2011, the Frenchman attended Merrimack College , for whose ice hockey team he participated in the National Collegiate Athletic Association's game operations. In the 2009/10 season he was able to convince with 45 scorer points, including 16 goals, in 34 games and was named Rookie of the Year for Hockey East , as well as being appointed to their second All-Star Team and the All-Rookie Team.

Due to the outstanding performance - six goals and four assists - at the 2017 Men's Ice Hockey World Championship , he was one of the candidates for a move from Europe to the NHL after the tournament. Due to health problems, there was no change to the NHL, and a change of club within the KHL to HK Awangard Omsk failed.
