Playing career
Like Paul, Steve led the University of Maine Black Bears to the NCAA title (in 1999); unlike Paul, however, he has had a rocky career. Having played several seasons of pro hockey in North America, including for the Vancouver Canucks, Kariya went to the Finnish SM-liiga after the 2003-04 season.
During the 2004-2005 season, he played for Ilves in the Finnish SM-liiga. He led the league in scoring during the regular season, earning the Veli-Pekka Ketola trophy. For the 2005-2006 season, Kariya played with the Espoo Blues, but spent the 2006-2007 season with Frölunda HC of the Swedish Elitserien.
On March 13, 2007, Kariya signed a one-year contract extension with Frölunda.
Kariya's sister Noriko is a professional boxer, and his brother Martin is also a pro hockey player.
