Jack Thompson (born March 19, 2002) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player for the San Jose Barracuda of the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

[edit]

On October 7, 2020, the Tampa Bay Lightning selected Thompson with the 93rd overall pick in the third round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.[1]

During the 2020–21 OHL season, Thompson was loaned to Surahammars IF of Sweden's Division 1. Thompson went there while waiting for the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) season to resume due to the COVID-19 pause.[2] The OHL subsequently decide to cancel the season.[3]

On May 18, 2021, the Tampa Bay Lightning signed Thompson to a three-year, entry-level contract. Thompson had appeared in 18 games with Surahammars IF the prior season, recording nine goals and nine assists for 18 points. He also appeared in one game with Tampa Bay' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch. Thompson recorded an assist in his professional debut. Prior to that, Thompson had appeared in 115 career games with the Sudbury Wolves of the OHL.[4]

On January 6, 2024, Thompson made his NHL debut with the Lightning against the Boston Bruins at TD Garden.[5] On March 7, Thompson along with a 2024 third-round draft pick was traded to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Anthony Duclair.[6] On April 15, Thompson made his Sharks debut in a 9–2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.[7]
