Early on in his junior career, he was labeled as a potential first round draft pick for the 2000 Draft, due to his combination of speed, size and skill. Unfortunately, being on dismal Mississauga IceDogs teams hindered his development, and he fell to the 4th round, drafted by the Edmonton Oilers. Dickenson played in the American Hockey League with the San Antonio Rampage before embarking on a European career.[ citation needed ]
On 15 July 2015, having left Herning Blue Fox of the Danish Metal Ligaen, Dickenson agreed to a contract with Scottish club, the Dundee Stars of the EIHL after securing a placement to study at the University of Dundee. [2]
In 2017, Dickenson co-founded a hockey training program in Ottawa named Lou Dickenson Elite Performance Hockey, which offers one on one coaching for hockey players. [3] [ better source needed ]
