Playing career

[edit | edit source]

He was drafted 19th overall by the Ottawa Senators in the first round of the 2019 NHL entry draft.[1][2][3] On 15 July 2019, Thomson was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Senators.[4]

Thomson was invited to the Senators training camp ahead of the 2021–22 season. On 3 October 2021, he was assigned to the Senators American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Belleville Senators.[5] Thomson made his NHL debut on 12 November 2021, with the Senators in a 2–0 loss to the Los Angeles Kings after being recalled the same day from Belleville due to a breakout of COVID-19 in the team.[6] He was returned to Belleville on 8 December 2021, after playing in eleven games.[7] He was recalled for one game on 1 January 2022, against the Toronto Maple Leafs and then called up again on 25 January 2022.[8] He finished the season playing in 16 games for the Senators.[9] At the beginning of the 2022–23 season, Thomson was assigned to Belleville.[10] He was recalled by Ottawa on 22 November 2022.[11] He was immediately slotted into the roster alongside Nick Holden in the 24 November game versus the Vegas Golden Knights, giving up a goal in the third period.[12] He played one more game before being sent back to Belleville.[13][14] While with Belleville, Thomson suffered an upper-body injury in December that kept him out for 11 games.[15]

On 1 October 2023, after being put on waivers by the Senators, Thomson was claimed by the Anaheim Ducks.[16] However, Anaheim waived Thomson again one week later, and he was subsequently reclaimed by the Senators.[17] He was then assigned to Belleville after no other team put in a claim.[18] Thomson played out the 2023–24 season in Belleville, registering 6 goals and 21 points through 67 regular season games.[19] He helped Belleville make it to the second round of the Calder Cup playoffs for the first time in team history, but was surpassed by other prospects.[20]

As a pending restricted free agent with the Senators, Thomson opted to return to Europe and was signed to a two-year contract with Swedish club, Malmö Redhawks of the Swedish Hockey League, on 13 May 2024.[21] In 50 games with Malmö, Thomson scored 17 goals and 29 points.[22]

On 17 June 2025, Thomson was released from the final year of his contract in the SHL and re-signed by the Ottawa Senators on a one-year, two-way contract.[22] He attended Ottawa's training camp and was one of the last cuts by Ottawa at the end of camp. He was placed on waivers in October by the Senators for the purpose of assigning him to Belleville.[23] He started the 2025–26 season with Belleville after going unclaimed but was recalled by Ottawa on 19 November after defenceman Thomas Chabot suffered an injury and the team was going on a seven-game West Coast road trip.[24]
