He was selected by the Atlanta Thrashers in the seventh round, 199th overall, of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, ultimately becoming the Thrashers' final ever draft pick before their relocation to Winnipeg, Manitoba to become the Winnipeg Jets.

In 2014, Stoykewych joined the American Hockey League's St. John's IceCaps, now the Manitoba Moose, in 2014 on a two-year contract. He signed one-year contracts with the Moose in 2016 and 2017, and signed another two-year contract in July 2018. [8]
Prior to the start of the 2018–19 season, Stoykewych was named the captain of the Moose alongside alternatives JC Lipon and Cameron Schilling. [9] On January 18, 2019, Stoykewych was suspended two games by the AHL as a result of an illegal check to the head on Milwaukee Admirals forward Phil Di Giuseppe. During the game, he had been assessed a two-minute minor penalty. [10] Following his fifth season with the Moose and second as captain, Stoykewych announced his retirement from professional hockey on June 9, 2020, after the cancellation of the 2019–20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time of his retirement, he ranked 10th amongst the teams' defencemen in games played with 267. [11] Following his retirement, he was hired by the AHL as a linesman for the 2020–21 season. [12]
