Thompson’s junior year at Denver comes 5 years after his last stint with the Colorado Thunderbirds as a 16U in 2019. Already an NCAA National Champion, Thompson recorded 30 points as a sophomore in 44 games en route to Denver’s historic 10th title. This season as an assistant captain on David Carle’s national-championship-defending Pioneer program, Aidan has 13 goals and 19 assists in 22 games– he ranks 8th in the nation in points, assists and points-per-game and trails only fellow nominee Jack Devine for the Pioneer scoring lead.

Thompson was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks at 90th overall in the 3rd round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.
