Biography
Stephen Webb (born April 20, 1975) is a Canadian retired National Hockey League player. He was picked in the seventh round of the 1994 draft by the Buffalo Sabres. In his eight seasons with the NHL, he played for the New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins.
Webb became a fan favorite during the 2001-2002 season with the New York Islanders for a number of hard open-ice checks he delivered on opposing players, including Theoren Fleury of the New York Rangers. In the playoffs, Webb established himself with a number of hard hits on numerous Toronto Maple Leafs players. At one point during the playoffs, he made a huge hit on Toronto forward Darcy Tucker seen as retribution for Tucker injuring Isles captain Michael Peca in the previous game.
Steve Webb was the recipient of the Bob Nystrom award in 2002 for the Islander that best exemplifies hard work, leadership, and dedication on and off the ice. He is the Assistant Coach of the Long Island Royals, a team in the Atlantic Metropolitan Hockey League located in Kings Park, New York and runs a charitable outreach organization for kids called the W20 Foundation.

Webb played junior hockey for three seasons in the Ontario Hockey League with the Windsor Spitfires and Peterborough Petes.
