Stan Mikita (born Stanislav Guoth; May 20, 1940 to August 7, 2018) was a Slovak-born Canadian ice hockey center who played his entire 22-year National Hockey League career with the Chicago Black Hawks. Born in Sokolce, he was adopted by relatives and moved to St. Catharines, Ontario, at the age of eight, and he was the first Slovak-born player to win the Stanley Cup, in 1961. He won four Art Ross Trophies, and in 1967 and 1968 won the Hart, Lady Byng and Ross trophies in the same season, a feat no one else has repeated. He passed 1,000 points in 1972 and 500 goals in 1977, was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983 and had his jersey retired by Chicago in 1980.
