Playing career

[edit]

Staios was selected 17th overall in the first round of the 2017 OHL Entry Draft by the Windsor Spitfires.[1] He was traded to the Hamilton Bulldogs in exchange for future OHL draft picks prior to the 2019–20 season.[2]

When the OHL shut down during the 2020–21 season due to COVID-19, Staios played 6 games for the Utica Comets of the American Hockey League.[3]

For the 2021–22 season playing for Hamilton, Staios led all OHL defencemen in scoring, with 66 points in 50 games.[4] He was named a First Team All-Star and won the Max Kaminsky Trophy as the OHL's best defenceman.[3][5] He was also named the CHL Defenceman of the Year.[3][6][7]

As a sought after undrafted free agent, Staios was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Florida Panthers on July 13, 2022.[8]

Personal

[edit]

Staios is the son of former NHL defenceman and current Ottawa Senators President of Hockey Operations Steve Staios. Staios was born in Atlanta, when his father was a member of the Atlanta Thrashers.[5][9]
