SAVANNAH, Ga. – The Savannah Ghost Pirates, ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League’s Vegas Golden Knights and the American Hockey League’s Henderson Silver Knights, announced that the team has agreed to terms with defenseman Tristan Thompson for the 2022-2023 season.
Thompson joins the Ghost Pirates after recording 26 points (4g-22a) in 48 games with the Rapid City Rush as a rookie last season.
Prior to beginning his professional career, the 25-year-old totaled 62 points in four collegiate seasons at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks from 2016-20.
