Thompson hired as Goalie Coach

A Summerside native, Thompson played his minor hockey in Prince County before continuing his development at the Ontario Hockey Academy. He later suited up for the Kensington Wild and Charlottetown Knights at the Major U18 level, and in 2021 was selected by the Western Capitals as the club’s territorial pick while also being drafted by the Moncton Wildcats in the sixth round of the QMJHL Entry Draft.

Following the early conclusion of his playing career due to injury, Kiefer has built an impressive coaching résumé, working with Hockey PEI, State of Mind Goaltending, Atlantic Hockey Group, Brave Athletic Performance, and the Western Rebels U16 AAA.

We’re excited to welcome Kiefer to the Western Capitals organization.

Welcome, Kiefer!
