Career

Stephenson was a three-year varsity player for Colby. Entering his senior season, Colby joined with 27 other eastern schools to form ECAC Hockey. While the Mules weren't considered a threat by many of the traditional eastern powers, Colby ended up winning the inaugural regular season championship by going 17–1–1 in conference play. The shocking finish earned Stephenson a place on the All-ECAC First Team as well as a nod as an All-American. Colby was seeded third in the ECAC Tournament (seedings were arranged based upon rankings and not conference standings) and they won their opening match against Rensselaer. The team's offense faltered in the semifinal against Clarkson and remained dormant in the third place game, preventing Colby from making an almost unthinkable appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
