For 23 years, Trevor 'Stieny' Stienburg was the heart and soul of a Huskies men's hockey program that reestablished Saint Mary's as a hockey school, and helped AUS hockey gain the reputation as the best conference in Canada.

Growing up in the small town of Moskow, Ontario, Trevor overcame the odds and went on to star for the OHL's Guelph Platers and London Knights. He was a first-round NHL draft pick in 1984, but a series of knee and shoulder injuries stalled his pro career. In 1994, while playing for the AHL's Halifax Citadels, Stienburg suffered a career-ending shoulder injury, and decided to remain on the east coast to start the next chapter of his career as a coach.

In 1997, Stienburg was named the seventh head coach of the Saint Mary's Huskies men's hockey team. He took over a Huskies team that had finished last the previous season with a 5-20-3 record. It took just two seasons for Stieny to bring the Huskies back to contender status, finishing the 1998-99 season with a 13-11-2 record and being named AUAA and CIAU Coach of the Year. That record improved to 18-8 the next season, with Stienburg being named AUAA and CIAU Coach of the Year for the second straight year.

In 2001-02, Stienburg coached the Huskies to their first AUS championship since the glory days of the 1970's. That same season, he was named head coach of Team Canada for the 2001 World University Games, capturing a silver medal in Poland. Stienburg was also named head bench boss in 2007, leading Canada to a gold medal in Italy.

Stienburg won his second AUS Championships with the Huskies in 2009, but a disappointing showing at the University Cup set the stage for redemption in the 2009-10 season. Despite a slow start to the campaign, the 2009-10 Huskies finished on top, winning 15 of their final 16 games - including a thrilling overtime win over perennial powerhouse Alberta Golden Bears - to claim the first and only national championship in program history.

Over Stienburg's 23 years at Saint Mary's, he compiled a record of 368-223-46, leading the team to three AUS Championships (2001-02, 2008-09, 2009-10) and the 2009-10 University Cup. Stienburg was named AUS Coach of the Year four times, and CIS Coach of the Year three times.

During Stienburg's career, he coached many of the most accomplished student-athletes in Saint Mary's Huskies history – dozens of AUS All-Stars and award winners, and 11 National Award winners including two CIS Player of the Years (Lucas Bloodoff 2012-13, Marc Rancourt 2008-09), 24 CIS All-Canadians, 11 CIS All-Rookie selections, and seven CIS National Championship All-Stars.

Stienburg's student-athletes also thrived in the classroom, producing over 140 Academic All-Canadians, two Top 8 Academic All-Canadians (Christopher Morrison 2008-09, Steven Gallace 2000-01) and two CIS Student-Athlete Community Service Award Winners (David Chant 2005-06, Steven Gallace 2001-02).

Trevor made the decision to step away from the Huskies helm in 2020 and retired after an illustrious 23-year career.  He is currently an amateur scout for the NHL's Seattle Kraken.
