Logan Thompson (born February 25, 1997) is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender for the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL). After playing junior hockey in the Western Hockey League (WHL) with the Brandon Wheat Kings, Thompson went undrafted, and spent time in U Sports, the ECHL, and the American Hockey League (AHL) before signing his first NHL contract with the Golden Knights in 2020. After two years spent primarily with the AHL Henderson Silver Knights, Thompson received significant playing time in the 2021–22 season due to injuries to other Vegas goaltenders, becoming the first former U Sports goaltender to start an NHL game in over 30 years. After taking over as Vegas' starting goaltender for the 2022–23 season, Thompson was named an NHL All-Star in 2023 and won the Stanley Cup with Vegas the same year, despite suffering injuries late in the season. Internationally, Thompson has represented Canada on one occasion, winning a silver medal at the 2022 edition of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Championship.

Playing career

Junior, university, and minors

Thompson began as a goaltender in bantam U15 junior hockey with the Calgary Bisons of the U15 Alberta Midget Hockey League (AMHL), [1] before moving up to the AMHL's midget U18 level with the Calgary Buffalo Hockey Association (CBHA) Blackhawks and Calgary Buffaloes. [1] [2] [3] He split the 2014–15 season between the Grande Prairie Storm of the Alberta Junior Hockey League and the Brandon Wheat Kings of the Western Hockey League, appearing in 22 games for Grande Prairie and four for Brandon. [4] [3]

Thompson spent the next three seasons with Brandon, posting a career .905 save percentage and 3.36 goals against average with a 63–41–10 record, and helping the team to a WHL Championship in 2016. [3] [5] He then joined the Brock Badgers of U Sports' Ontario University Athletics (OUA) for the 2018–19 season; [3] [6] after posting an 18–6–0 record with a .934 save percentage and 2.24 goals against average, Thompson was named to the OUA West Division All-Rookie and First All-Star teams, while winning their Rookie of the Year and Goalie of the Year awards. [7] [8]

After the conclusion of the Badgers' season, Thompson joined the Adirondack Thunder of the ECHL on an amateur tryout contract in March 2019. [9] [10] After being released in April after eight appearances, he signed a professional tryout contract with the Binghamton Devils of the American Hockey League (AHL), [11] [12] but appeared in just one game. [3]

In May 2019, the Hershey Bears of the AHL signed Thompson to a one-year contract. [13] [10] [14] However, he spent the entirety of the 2019–20 season with the Bears' ECHL affiliate, the South Carolina Stingrays. [3] [15] [10]

Vegas Golden Knights (2021–present)

On July 13, 2020, Thompson signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL). [16] [17] Thompson started the 2020–21 season with the team's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Henderson Silver Knights, and was named AHL Goaltender of the Month for February 2021. [18] [19] However, he was recalled to the main roster in early March, replacing previous backup Oscar Dansk. [20] [21] On March 11, Thompson made his NHL debut against the Minnesota Wild in relief of Marc-André Fleury, playing eight minutes and stopping both shots he faced in a 4–3 loss. [4] [22] Thompson was then sent back down to Henderson on March 16. [23] Thompson was again named AHL Goaltender of the Month in March, [24] [25] and would ultimately win his first Aldege "Baz" Bastien Memorial Award as the AHL's best goaltender for the 2020–21 AHL season; additionally, Thompson was named to the AHL's All-Rookie and Pacific Division All-Star teams. [26] [27]

Thompson made his first NHL start for Vegas on January 4, 2022, stopping 23 of 26 shots faced in a 3–2 loss to the Nashville Predators; in the process, Thompson became the first former U Sports goaltender to start an NHL game since George Maneluk for the New York Islanders in 1990. [7] On January 30, the Golden Knights re-signed Thompson to a three-year, $2.3 million contract extension. [28] [29] Thompson recorded his first NHL win on February 20, making 35 saves on 36 shots in a 4–1 victory over the San Jose Sharks. [30] He later recorded his first NHL shutout on March 30, stopping all 22 shots against in a 3–0 victory over the Seattle Kraken. [31]

Due to injuries to starting goaltender Robin Lehner and backup Laurent Brossoit, Thompson was named the Golden Knights' starting goaltender entering the 2022–23 season, [32] leading the team to a 4–3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings in the season opener on October 11, 2022. [33] Thompson then recorded his first shutout of the season on October 13, stopping 27 shots as the Golden Knights defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 1–0. [34] Thompson was named NHL Rookie of the Month for November after winning eight of 10 appearances during the month. [35] [36] Subsequently, he was named to his first NHL All-Star Game in January 2023, serving as one of the Pacific Division's goaltenders in the 2023 contest; Thompson also became the first rookie goaltender to be named to the All-Star Game since John Gibson in 2016. [37] [38] Similarly owing to his strong start, Thompson was initially considered a contender for the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL's best rookie. [39] [40]

Thompson's rookie year was then cut short just after the All-Star Break, as he left early in a 5–1 victory over the Minnesota Wild on February 9, after suffering a lower-body injury. [41] After missing the majority of February and March, Thompson would ultimately return for one start against the Calgary Flames on March 23; however, he again suffered a lower-body injury, and left in the third period, [42] subsequently missing the remainder of the regular season. [43] In his absence, the Golden Knights variously relied on Brossoit, Adin Hill, fellow rookie Jiří Patera, and the newly-acquired Jonathan Quick. [44] [45] Thompson shared in the Golden Knights' eventual Stanley Cup victory, despite not being able to participate in the playoffs, [46] and his name was engraved on the Stanley Cup alongside the rest of the team. [47]

The following season saw Hill and Thompson working as a tandem, [48] splitting starts over the first month of the season. [49] However, after Hill suffered two lower-body injuries in November and December, Thompson once again assumed the starting role. [50] While appearing in 10 games during December, Thompson saw a decline in play, being removed against the Carolina Hurricanes on December 19, 2023, after allowing six goals, [51] and culminating in a 5–2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on December 27, in which he allowed four goals in the first period. [52] [50] [53] Additionally, like Hill, he suffered an injury mid-month, briefly ceding the starting role to Jiří Patera. [54] After a 3–2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on December 28, [50] Thompson started the 2024 Winter Classic for the Golden Knights on January 1, 2024, culminating in a 3–0 defeat to the Seattle Kraken. [55]

Following the Winter Classic, however, Thompson improved; after recording a 1.34 goals against average and .956 save percentage with a 3-0-0 record during a mid-month homestand, Thompson was named the league's Third Star of the Week, alongside Kirill Kaprizov and David Pastrnak. [56] The remainder of the season saw up-and-down play from Thompson, with several poor starts in February, including a seven-goal loss to the Buffalo Sabres, [57] followed by a stretch of five consecutive starts with one goal against. [58] [59] This stretch resulted in another Star of the Week award, being named the Second Star alongside Connor McDavid and Alexis Lafreniere. [60] After playing his 100th career game on April 5, 2024, [61] Thompson was named the Golden Knights' playoff starter. [62] Though he won his first two playoff starts against the Dallas Stars on April 22 and 24, [63] Thompson then lost two consecutive games, [64] despite recording a career-high 43 saves in game three; [65] he was subsequently replaced by Hill for game 5, [66] and Vegas ultimately lost the series in seven games. [67]
