6 feet (hockey db lists him at 6'1") is 3 inches taller than 5'9. I don't think it's just a difference in measurement.
More likely, Stamkos and St. Louis are alphabetically side-by-side on the Tampa Bay roster. Looks like whoever put this list together accidentally grabbed St Louis' height/weight.

Martin St-Louis has been named to the #TeamCanada roster for #Sochi2014, replacing Steven Stamkos.

Good, it had to be him. He should have been there in the first place.

Sucks that Stamkos won't be there, but he is young and should have a few more Olympics yet.

It's great that St. Louis has found a way in.

Still can't believe Carter is in over Giroux.

Sucks it was at an expense of a teammate, but good that he gets to go now.

Why? He's a big body goal scorer, can't have a team entirely of playmakers.

This was the right choice. Should have been on the team from the beginning.

Neal + Giroux should be on this team. So many good players for Canada

Carter has 2 more goals than Giroux.

Yet Giroux is a point/game player. Carter is not close.

Ya this was a weird decision IMO. Iginla currently has more points than Carter (although he's played more games). Giroux is tied for 8th in points amongst Canadian forwards.

Add to that, Carter is no better a skater than Ryan Howse. He's going to be awful on big ice.
