He used his innate soccer IQ and relentless competitiveness to make an impact
One of the most beloved teammates in program history, Stewart’s growth as a player helped him leave his name all over the UNBC record books, while helping to elevate the program to new heights. Stewart left behind a legacy of commitment, competitiveness, and pride, making him a fitting choice for the Timberwolves Wall of Honour.A highly regarded player in Prince George, Stewart rose through the youth ranks competing for PGYSA.
Stewart finished the season third on the TWolves in goals, trailing only program leaders Tofa Fakunle and Francesco Bartolillo; two players who would make a major impact on the young midfielder’s career. “As a young player, he was so receptive to information. He always wanted to learn, and he was a sponge,” said Fakunle about his young teammate. “I genuinely respected that a ton. He was a really good footballer, and he was starting games for us and contributing. Despite being a young player, his attitude to succeed pushed guys like me to be better.”
Stewart continued to establish himself in 2018-2019, as the Timberwolves moved to Masich Palce for their home games. With his growing flair for the dramatic, it was fitting that it was the Prince George product became the answer to a trivia question, scoring the first goal in the stadium’s history on September 14th, 2018 against the Victoria Vikes.
The 2019-2020 campaign was the first season without program stalwarts such as Bartolillo, Fakunle, Gordon Hall, and Conrad Rowlands, meaning Stewart would be leaned on as a leader for the Timberwolves as the program experienced significant roster changeover. He responded with his best season yet, registering six points and pacing UNBC in points.
In 2021-2022, with conference play back on the schedule, the now-veteran was tremendous in his senior season. His flair for the big moment was on full display on September 25th, when the Timberwolves were visiting the powerful UBC Thunderbirds in Vancouver. UNBC trailed the T-Birds 3-0 with less than 10 minutes to play, but it was the PG boy who propelled them to one of the finest comebacks in Canada West history, scoring a pair of goals in a dramatic and memorable 3-3 draw.
