Myron "Mike" Joseph Stankiewicz (December 4, 1935 – September 11, 2024) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player. He played 35 games in the National Hockey League with the St. Louis Blues and Philadelphia Flyers during the 1968–69 season.

He announced his retirement on September 14, 1970, after missing the entire 1969–70 season due to injury.[1] Despite his brief NHL career, Stankiewicz was a top goal scorer in the American Hockey League, breaking the 20-goal mark six times in seven seasons with the Hershey Bears. He is the brother of Ed Stankiewicz, a pro hockey left winger who played 6 games in the NHL.[2] Myron Stankiewicz died in London, Ontario on September 11, 2024, at the age of 88.[3]
