Stillman was born in St. Louis when his father, Cory was a member of the St. Louis Blues and grew up in Peterborough, Ontario once his career ended.[1]
Stillman played major midget hockey within the Sudbury region before he was selected by the Sudbury Wolves, in the second round, 25th overall, of the 2019 OHL Priority Selection. In his first season of major junior hockey with the Wolves in 2019–20, Stillman showed offensive potential in recording 13 goals and 34 points through 58 games and was subsequently named to the OHL First All-Rookie Team.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, suspending and later cancelling the 2020–21 season, Stillman in order to continue his development joined the junior ranks of Danish club, Esbjerg Energy. Producing 16 points through only 8 games as at the under-20 level, Stillman was later drafted by New Jersey Devils in the first round of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft with the 29th overall selection.[2] He was later signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Devils on August 21, 2021.[3]
Returning to the OHL for the commencement of the 2021–22 season, Stillman as an alternate captain notched 20 points through 24 appearances. On January 10, 2022, Stillman was traded by the Wolves to the Peterborough Petes in exchange for Alex Pharand and 5 draft picks.[4] Through the second half of the campaign, Stillman contributed with 10 goals and 29 points in 35 regular season games. After a first-round playoff defeat, Stillman was re-assigned by the Devils to join AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets for their playoff run on May 1, 2022.
His father, Cory Stillman, and his grandfather, Bud Stefanski, were NHL forwards; his brother Riley Stillman is an NHL defenceman.[5][6]
