Early life
Stolarz was born on January 20, 1994, in Edison, New Jersey, and was raised in nearby Jackson.[1][2] A New Jersey Devils fan, Stolarz grew up watching goaltender Martin Brodeur play ice hockey, as well as his older brother Todd, who served in goal for a New Jersey junior ice hockey team.[2] The Stolarz brothers bonded as children by watching old videos of Brodeur and Ron Hextall on the family television set, with Anthony asking questions about the goaltenders.[3] Always tall for his age, Stolarz began goaltending in butterfly style from the age of eight or nine to account for his height.[4]
As a goaltender for New Jersey youth hockey teams, Stolarz played tournaments in

Although Stolarz enjoyed most aspects of his time with the Omaha Mavericks, he was frustrated about splitting his time in goal with starting goaltender John Faulkner and backup Dayn Belfour, the son of former NHL player Ed Belfour.[12] After playing only eight games for Omaha, Stolarz dropped out, accepting an offer from the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).[2] At the behest of his parents, Stolarz agreed to attend the University of Western Ontario. His tuition would be taken care of by the Knights, who pay for the college education of all of their full-time players.[12] By the end of the 2012–13 OHL season, Stolarz had become the Knights' starting goaltender. He went 13–3–2 in the final 20 games of the season, with a .920 SV% and 2.29 GAA. After posting a 13–5 record, 2.53 GAA, and .923 SV% in the first rounds of the 2013 OHL playoffs, Stolarz was benched during the championship series against the Barrie Colts due to a subpar performance.[12]
